What is the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR)?

The HEAR is a nationally standardised enhanced transcript that is issued electronically to all undergraduate students.  It contains a comprehensive record of your academic and extra-curricular learning and achievements.   You can find more general information about it here.

You can access your HEAR via 'My Services' in MUSE at any point during your studies. 

You can share your HEAR electronically with employers and others using our ShARe (Sheffield Authorised Records) system.

What is mySkills?

The mySkills portfolio is an innovative new way for you to assess, record, build and reflect on your own skills profile. Your profile and record of personal development will be unique to you and will be invaluable in creating your CV and strengthening job applications and interview performance.

mySkills - your record of skills & personal development

During your time at the University of Sheffield you will have the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and attributes through your course, your work experience and extracurricular activities. You can reflect on and record these using mySkills.

mySkills learning and tracking your progress

Your mySkills portfolio also includes links to information, learning resources and activities to support your development, and suggests actions you might take to help develop your skills and experience.

mySkills will also help you to prepare for conversations with your tutor or other advisers, and to complete any assignments that include reflective practice.

In the future, you’ll be able to re-assess your skills, see your progression and re-consider your development goals.

Accessing mySkills

All University of Sheffield students can access mySkills through Career Connect, available via MUSE, and you can continue to access for 3 years after you graduate.
