The SLMS Student Experience

UCL’s approach to the student experience is characterised by what we call the ‘global citizenship attributes’. We aim to produce graduates who are:

  • critical and creative thinkers
  • ambitious – but also idealistic and committed to ethical behaviour
  • aware of the intellectual and social value of cultural difference
  • entrepreneurs with the ability to innovate
  • willing to assume leadership roles: in the family, the community and the workplace
  • highly employable and ready to embrace professional mobility

.

We want to produce rounded individuals who are able to take advantage of whatever opportunities present themselves, rather than graduates who think of themselves and their future prospects in relatively fixed terms.
