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 ready to take their next step in education or work with the skills necessary to be successful in the and with the information & knowledge they need to persue a career in their chosen field. The success of the 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 1-2-1 drop-in meetings. We offer confidential, impartial and accessible information, advice and guidance to help students decide their next steps.
Labour Market Intelligence
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.
