How we help our students
We are a friendly, supportive team of qualified Careers professionals, here for you from the day you enrol. Throughout your time at university and beyond, you can:
- explore your career ideas or generate some with an adviser in the
Careers Hub . You don’t have to know what you want to do; we can chat to you about your thoughts and listen to any concerns that you have about your individual circumstances. - use our online platform MyCareer to access careers advice, tutorials and job opportunities at home. You can also build your CV, cover letter and practice your interview technique using AI-assisted technology.
- come to our careers fairs, networking events and competitions. Careers fairs include a Quiet Hour with reduced lighting and noise for a calmer experience.
- join our “Accelerate” workshops covering the topics that matter to students; from How to Write a CV to How to Network with Confidence.
More focussed activities
