enhancing your employability
The Exeter Award is an achievement award for undergraduate and taught postgraduate students at the University of Exeter. The Award is designed to enhance the employability of University of Exeter graduates by providing official recognition and evidence of extra-curricular activities and achievements. These include: attendance at skills sessions and training courses, active participation in sporting and musical activities, engagement in work experience and voluntary work.
Why do The Exeter Award?
When you graduate, you will be in the company of approximately 280,000 others nationally who will also be looking for their ideal graduate role. Employers are looking for candidates who stand out from the crowd and who have developed their skills, abilities and ambitions – a degree is no longer enough to get you the job you want. The Exeter Award will give you the confidence to stand out and shout about the other experiences you have had at university.
The award is designed to:
- Give University recognition to undergraduates and taught Masters students at Exeter for the activities you are participating in outside of your degree studies.
- Enable you to enhance your employability through a range of skills development and other opportunities on campus.
- Demonstrate to employers the skills and attributes that Exeter graduates have.
The Exeter Award merely provides a structure for your continuing professional development, with the certificate just a framework to be built upon. It should be viewed as the continuous acquisition of a skills portfolio; you will get out of it what you put in.
Once you register for the Award you will have access to your own award homepage where you can register for activities, keep track of which sections of the award you’ve completed and keep up to date with new events as they are added.

We reserve the right to change the structure or format of The Award without prior notification. Registration on The Award does not guarantee you places on any of the skills sessions or events and completion of The Award will not necessarily increase your career prospects. The Award framework is a starting point for your development and you should continue developing your skills and attributes beyond this once you have completed The Award. |
