Building your skills
There is much more to studying at Cambridge than your academic focus, whether that be as an undergraduate, a postgraduate or an advanced degree student. Whilst the importance of your degree study cannot be underestimated, the recognition and development of your skills across several activities during your time at Cambridge will add value to your time spent studying and enrich your future opportunities.
The information across these ‘Build your Skills’ pages will introduce you to several ways to reflect on your study and research, recognise your existing skills and support you to build new skills, ready for your next steps.
Whether you are focused on looking for employment, progressing your studies, becoming an entrepreneur, travelling and exploring the World, embarking on volunteering, or simply finding your way, these resources aim to help you build your skills ready to make a positive contribution.
They also aim to connect you to your Cambridge community.
If you would like to assess your current skills and get ideas on how to develop them further whilst studying in Cambridge, access the Skills Discovery Tool for Cambridge students (CRSid).
Take a look at this video for more detail on how the skills discovery tool can help you.
