Helping you get to where you want to be when you graduate
At the Careers Service, we understand the importance of seeking support.
We’re here to help you navigate a sometimes daunting path, and help you build confidence in your own decision-making. We know that everyone is different.
Sometimes just talking through your worries can help but we can also recommend some practical tips, and suggestions and set some next steps which can make all the difference.

Whether you’ve just started university or you’re gearing up for graduation, the Employer Showcase will have something for you.
It’s worth taking advantage of these opportunities whilst they’re readily available to you, even if you have no idea what you’re planning on doing after your studies. Have a snoop and see what appeals to you. If you know exactly what you want to do: great! Come along and network with employers from a whole range of industries.
The City Challenges programme was launched in September 2021, with 70 students taking part in this bespoke opportunity over the academic year.
