Global Skills for Success are essential skills for progression to further study and future careers. The content covers knowledge, understanding, skills and attributes relevant to both HE and employment. These are developed by students undertaking tasks relevant to their area of study, which encourage the development of appropriate transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research, and self-management. They will also develop cognitive and problem-solving skills, intrapersonal and interpersonal skills which will prepare them for their next step in life. This will be achieved by the students working in teams to complete a project relevant to their subject area. Each student must have a clearly distinguished role and produce their own individual evidence as part of their contribution to a group project.
