Graduate attributes

UTS Business School courses are taught in a way that means graduates will know concepts and theories, can put these to practice and can become self-reflective practitioners.

The Graduate Attributes (GAs) that we have developed for our courses reinforce this approach:

  • intellectual rigour and innovative problem-solving
  • communication and collaboration
  • social responsibility, economic justice and equality
  • professional and technological expertise
  • work for and with Indigenous Australians

Each Graduate Attribute has Program Learning Objectives (PLOs), also known as Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs), that are aligned with a specific course. These PLOs assure that students have become proficient in the relevant Graduate Attribute. The PLOs of a subject and the PLO assessment details are provided in a detailed subject description, which can be found in the UTS Handbook.

The relationships between the GAs, PLOs and subjects in a course are regularly reviewed as part of the School’s established processes for assurance of learning (program assessment). The objective of these processes is to improve student learning and drive curriculum change.

Acknowledgement of Country

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people, upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
