Accredit your skills

Stand out from the crowd

Welcome to The Bath Award

Whatever you want to do when you leave university, chances are you will have to compete hard to win the best opportunities. There are now more graduates than ever before and employers are placing more emphasis on recruiting graduates who not only have a degree but who are also equipped with key transferable skills and have a desire to learn more and improve their capabilities during their time at the University of Bath.

Why should I get involved?

On leaving university, you will need to be able to demonstrate a range of competencies and skills. As a job applicant, you will need to present employers with real examples of times when you have demonstrated the skills and competencies expected. Saying you can do something isn’t enough; your experiences need to prove it!

Bath Award Ceremony

The Bath Award Presentation Ceremony for the pilot scheme took place on Thursday 28 May 2009.

What can I do to stand out from the crowd?

One answer is to make the very most of your university experience. Extra-curricular activities, work experience, volunteering and additional learning can all provide real examples of why you are the best person for a job.

How does The Bath Award work?

The Bath Award recognises and accredits the skills and achievements of students engaged in all types of extra-curricular activities. It operates alongside your degree programme and aims to capture the benefits you have gained from all aspects of your university life that you will find valuable in your future life and career.

How do I take part?
