Our job is to get you ready for yours

Not sure which career path is right for you? Don’t worry. It takes time, inspiration and the right opportunities to find that out. That’s where we come in…

From day one, our Career-ready package guarantees you hands-on experience. Whether through a work placement, internship, real-life projects, or even getting valuable industry insight from networking with employers or mentoring opportunities.

You'll also get the chance to study abroad for a year, a trimester or even over the summer at one of our international partner institutions.

And you’ll get professional career support – before, during and even after you graduate – to help you get a foot in the door and step into the world of work.

So by the time you graduate, you’ll be well on your way to where you need to be. Where that is, is up to you.

Top 3 ways we help you to be career-ready

* At the moment, our Career-ready Guarantee package only applies to Business Management, Computer Science, and Criminology undergraduate students who are starting in September 2023. Access to all opportunities are subject to appropriate preparation and course engagement from students. We will be offering the Guarantee to all undergraduate students as soon as possible. Please check back with us as we work on rolling out the Guarantee to the rest of our subjects. Other subject areas can still access our full range of employability support services through the Student Futures team.
