We're the UK's leading university for Future Skills
Preparing our students for career success, in a rapidly evolving world of work
Future Skills is our sector-leading model of education, designed to empower students to succeed in their life and career beyond university.
Through each year of their undergraduate degree, students develop the human-centric skills most valued by employers – from creative problem solving to empathy and digital competency – alongside their subject-specific learning.
These nine graduate attributes, identified through extensive research with business as part of our Future Skills campaign, are embedded as a core, assessed part of every course.
Students work directly with employers as part of our Future Skills approach, ensuring they are equipped to thrive in a rapidly-changing world driven by emerging technologies.
Whether you’re an undergraduate or postgraduate student, you’ll benefit from our growing network of UK and international businesses and organisations, who are partnering with Kingston University through Future Skills.
