Careers Checklist

Our experienced Employability Advisers have carefully crafted the Final Year Career Checklist to help you identify which areas you may need to work on and to help you make progress in your career journey as you approach the end of your course.

After You Complete Your Studies

The Careers & Employability team offers a range of support to all graduates whether you’re looking to find a graduate job or work for yourself. We recognise the importance of the decisions you will make during your final year and upon finishing your studies. The support is designed to provide you with the skills needed to navigate towards your chosen career or the skills to help you pursue creating your own business venture.

Once you have finished your studies you can access this support, including continued access to the Careers & Employability newsletter, the career clinics, enterprise workshops, and 1-to-1 appointments to increase your employability skills, support your career development, and offer business advice. Further support is offered in the graduate mentorship programme, graduate employability boot camp, enterprise networking opportunities, access to the enterprise co-working space, and to enterprise funding.
