Principles to Practice:
Enhancing Student Employability

These pages have been developed to support course teams at the University of Portsmouth with embedding employability into the curriculum. The importance of ensuring our students progress onto graduate level occupations and study following graduating from Portsmouth continues to grow, with government measures of ‘Graduate Outcomes’ now increasing in significance. These measures of graduate destinations now weigh heavily upon league tables and reputation equal to the National Student Survey, increasing the need to focus on embedding employability into the core of the student experience.

This page currently features three main areas, including; thematic advice resources on core areas of activity; case studies of best practice from the Faculties; and published readings from the wider sector.

Want advice and help with your course or module?
