Dear all,

We have been asked to teach students in their last BA semester to write a one-page competence statement of the three-year BA-programme in the humanities. I.e. a statement explaining what they have been doing for the three years in a way so that future empoloyers will be able to understand it. So it’s more like knowledge communication than academic writing. It will help them get jobs or apply for graduate schools, but it will also help them understand themselves what a BA in the humanities is actually all about.

Do any of you work with this and have recommendations to form, structure, templates, required points, etc.? Any university websites that have links for this?

Any comment will be much appreciated.

Best regards and thanks,

Ida
