The Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) was introduced as a means for Higher Education institutions in the UK to provide a more comprehensive record of student achievement than the traditional degree classification system.
The Northumbria HEAR provides details about the contents of a student’s programme, including:
- The knowledge and understanding the student can be expected to have gained.
- A transcript of modules studied, and marks obtained.
- The main intellectual, practical and key transferable skills that the student should have developed during their studies.
A section of the HEAR is dedicated to additional information – providing a fuller picture of the student beyond traditional academic achievement. This includes information which can be verified and validated by Northumbria University and Northumbria Students’ Union and includes awards, recognised activities, and university, professional and departmental prizes.
Northumbria graduates have lifelong access to their digital HEAR, which is hosted on a secure web-based environment provided by Gradintelligence. Graduates can quickly and securely share Northumbria verified documents with employers and institutions to evidence their higher education credentials.
