Careers Guidance

Careers Guidance and the development of employability skills is actively and thoughtfully embedded into every student’s learning experience

We want our students to graduate having not only achieved the best grades they can, but also ready to take their next step in education or work. We want to equip them with the skills, information and knowledge they need to pursue a career in their chosen field, and be successful.  The success of our careers programme is evident in our commendable university progression rates.

Careers Advice

Our team of fully qualified Careers Advisors offer a client-centred service to students. We support careers education and progression advice through tutorials and one-to-one drop-in meetings. We offer confidential, impartial and accessible information, advice and guidance to help students decide their next steps.

Labour Market Information

We use Labour Market Information (LMI) to help students research potential careers. LMI tells you about current and forecast job opportunities in different sectors. For example, it can tell you what average salaries are for particular roles, whether industries are predicted to expand or contract, and about technological or training changes. It is very helpful in planning your career, and therefore in helping you decide what course to choose.
