What is the USP - University Skills Passport?

The USP - University Skills Passport offers a comprehensive and formal recognition of students' skill development, encompassing both curricular and co-curricular achievements. All verified accomplishments will be systematically acknowledged as they happen using digital badges. These achievements will be centrally recorded on our USP platform, culminating in a personalised USP document for each student. This document will provide a complete overview of their activities and skill development, reflecting their growth both inside and outside the classroom.
