Welcome to Key Skills at UCL

UCL has long believed in the importance of students developing their key skills. We recognise their importance to the whole student experience: transition, academic-work, extra-curricular activities and to students' career prospects.

Their importance to a UCL education goes beyond this. We believe that a university education should aid students' personal and social development, so that our graduates are ready to meet the challenges facing individuals, communities and mankind on a global scale. By developing your skills, you develop your ability to meet these challenges. Skills development is therefore part of UCL's bigger project to provide an education for Global Citizenship.

UCL therefore provides a number of resources, targeted to different aspects of the skills development process. This site will help UCL taught students and their personal tutors to navigate and get the most out of them.
