The Sydney Met Graduate Attributes (GAs) represent qualities that students will develop as they progress through their award course. The GAs describe the disciplinary expertise students will develop and the broader skills students will need throughout their working lives. They will also help students to make positive contributions to society, both in the workplace and the broader community.
Sydney Met has six Graduate Attributes (GAs) which are the broad qualities, skills and understandings that the Institute aspires to enable in its students. These attributes underpin Sydney Met’s basic philosophy of socially responsible entrepreneurship and are informed by Sydney Met’s vision, philosophy and the Bachelor level AQF specifications.

Sydney Met's campus is located on the unceded territory of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, who are the traditional owners of the land where the campus is situated. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging. We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia and Indigenous peoples globally who are presently studying, working, or contributing to Sydney Met.
