What we do

Whether it’s developing the skills students need to succeed on their course, or in life beyond university, the Careers Service is here to support and facilitate academic, personal and career development.

Staff and studentsOur services are grouped into three broad themes, helping students to:

  • succeed in their studies
  • gain experience
  • develop their career

Students need to address these themes simultaneously, rather than one at a time. We provide expertise and support directly to students and to academic departments to help you to support your students in this process.

Here to help you

Our staff are aligned to the University's college structure and for each college there is a contact for each of our three themes. Click on the relevant link below to contact the Careers Service staff for your college for more information:
