Why should you complete the Bristol PLuS Award?

The PLuS Awards recognise and reward University of Bristol students who have gained significant professional and life skills through extra-curricular experiences, which are important now more than ever in the current graduate labour market.

The competition for jobs throws into sharper focus the imperative for graduates to have the attributes to succeed in the workplace. In addition to acquiring the strong academic and technical knowledge required for many roles, our graduates and postgraduates also need the employability skills and positive attitude that employers value in every new recruit. Richard Lambert, Director-General CBI

At Bristol there are many opportunities for gaining transferable and professional skills to get 'the edge' when applying for graduate jobs. The PLuS Awards help you sell your university experience to employers.

Critically, the PLuS Awards help candidates demonstrate at application stage, how they have the skills that are vital in the positions we offer.Rosalind Gilbert, PwC
