Careers Overview

Your university career adviser should be your first stop when looking for careers advice.

From helping you make your initial career choice to pointing out relevant career opportunities for you, university career advisers are trained professionals who can help you in every stage of your career choice and development.

Your career adviser

A university career adviser can take you through all the career choices that your degree has opened up for you and help you decide which direction you want your future career to go in.

Opportunities you may not have thought about

Your career adviser will also be able to show you career opportunities that you might not have been aware of, from graduate placements and further study opportunities to career fairs and job opportunities abroad.

Careers advice centres are a great place

Many university careers advice centres also offer extensive resources to students to help them find and take advantage of each career opportunity as it arises, including free CV workshops, internet access, coaching on interview techniques and help with filling in job application forms.
