Abstract

It is increasingly recognised that a university education is about much more than gaining technical skills. As important to graduates as their degree classification is their portfolio of softer, transferable skills. Consequently, undergraduates now seek to build such skills as part of their core studies. Significantly, not only do the students report improved skills, they also report greater confidence in utilising these skills.
