The University’s Graduate Attributes and seven Generic Intended Learning Outcomes (GILOs) represent the attributes of ideal EdUHK graduates and their expected qualities respectively. Learning outcomes work coherently at the University (GILOs), programme (Programme Intended Learning Outcomes) and course (Course Intended Learning Outcomes) levels to achieve the goal of nurturing students with important graduate attributes. In gist, the Graduate Attributes for Undergraduate, Taught Postgraduate and Research Postgraduate students consist of the following three domains (i.e. in short “PEER & I”):

  • Professional Excellence;
  • Ethical Responsibility; &
  • Innovation.

The descriptors under these three domains are different for the three groups of students in order to reflect the respective level of Graduate Attributes.

The seven GILOs are:

  1. Problem Solving Skills
  2. Critical Thinking Skills
  3. Creative Thinking Skills
  4. (a). Oral Communication Skills (b). Written Communication Skills
  5. Social Interaction Skills
  6. Ethical Decision Making
  7. Global Perspectives
