Careers Service

The Careers Service is here to support you from your first day at the university.

We can help you decide what career is right for you, develop the skills you will need to follow it, and get a job when you finish your studies.

We can also offer support and advice about placements, volunteering, mentoring and business startup.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the Careers team are currently holding all one-to-one appointments remotely. These will mainly take place via the Microsoft Teams app If you are having any issues with setting up Microsoft Teams please get in touch.
