Global Skills Award
Global Skills Award
For Postgraduate Taught students.
Quotation
The best part of the GSA is that you can freely explore and immerse yourself in global issues out of interest and curiosity, without having to be examined on your knowledge!
What is the Global Skills Award and what do I need to do?
The Global Skills Award (GSA) is for Postgraduate Taught students and is designed to enhance global awareness and improve employability through a programme of workshops and Postgraduate Talks.
Any PGT student can engage with the GSA by attending as many workshops and PG Talks as they wish.
There is the option to achieve an Award and to be invited to an awards ceremony. In order to achieve an Award there is a minimum requirement of workshops and PG Talks that must be attended.
