The majority of our students struggled to effectively presenttheir research in an oral or written form, and had difficulties working in a team environment. Theproblem was escalated at the postgraduate level in comparison to undergraduate, as many of ourgraduate students are international students and faced added difficulty due to differences inlanguage, culture, and education.To address these problems, we began by asking what attributes we want our students to have. Weidentified the following as the main attributes: effective communication, professional behaviour,effective research methodology, proactive career planning and staying
