Careers guidance
We have experienced careers counsellors at the university careers centres to discuss any issue you might have with your future careers plans. You can email, telephone or visit us to make an appointment.
Whether you are unsure of what career path you would like to follow, or you need to change courses for your chosen career, our experienced counsellors can help you. We will work with you to discover the possible options your degree opens to you. Whatever the situation, you will be treated as an individual and be given the space and time to think through which options suit you best.
See Plan your career.
Help with application and interviews
Your CV, applications and interview are the first impression you give a potential employer. At the Careers Service, we help you to prepare yourself for interviews and submit effective applications. We can set up a mock interview for your to practise, and give you feedback on your CV or application before you send it. Make an appointment or drop in and see us.
See CVs and interviews.
Work experience: placements and internships
Placements might be a course requirement, in which case your placements team will help you find something that suits your skills and course. However, if you want to do a specific placement or an internship to develop you skills we will help you find opportunities and support you throughout the application and interview process.
