Graduate Attributes | ICMP LondonAt ICMP, we’re committed to providing you with a rich and diverse educational experience that will support and shape both your personal and professional growth.

Our graduate attributes are a list of characteristics and high-level qualities that you’ll develop during your time as an ICMP student if you engage with the opportunities available.

Through committing to your studies and the many opportunities ICMP offers, graduates become industry-ready and employable. Alongside becoming an expert in your discipline, you’ll also be adaptable, articulate and innovative, with a high level of knowledge of the complexities of the creative industries. Inspired by your discipline and always willing to embrace new opportunities, you’ll graduate as a socially responsible individual, resilient to change and capable of finding solutions to new problems.

This expanded level of understanding is what sets ICMP students apart from their peers and those not engaging in higher education, and represents the added value graduates offer to both the creative industries and wider society.
