It’s the end of another academic year and you’re either returning in September for another part of your UoB journey, or celebrating your momentous graduation and moving onto an exciting new chapter!
Whatever stage you’re at, now is the time to make sure you’re the main character in your own story. Throughout UoB Xtra there’s plenty of opportunities for you to take part, enhance your CV and explore what the future might look like.
Just don’t forget to take some time to reflect on everything you’ve achieved and make note of it using My Attributes. If you are returning for another year, your extra-curricular activities can be recognised by The Birmingham Award. If you’re graduating, you can still access My Attributes to help you to recognise the Graduate Attributes and skills you’ve developed during your studies.
Here’s to your future and your next era!

My Attributes
It's hard to appreciate just how far you’ve come without giving yourself time to reflect. If you completed My Attributes earlier this year, it’s the perfect time to update it and see how many skills you’ve gained over the last few months. If you haven’t done it before, why not start now! Reflect, set your goals and get ready for your future.
