The Faculty of Law, in consultation with Colleges, has identified the ways in which undergraduatescan acquire and develop certain skills and attributes (‘transferable skills’) throughout their University career. These skills,as well as enhancing academic performance, can be used beyond university and are highly valued by employers.Students are encouraged to make use of the opportunities afforded to them to develop those attributes which will standthem in good stead in later life. Examples of ways in which transferable skills may be developed by undergraduates inlaw are available in the statement on transferable skills on the Faculty’s website.34
