Final year careers support
Final year careers support
Being in final year is tough. On top of exams and deadlines, it’s hard to make time for future planning. But making time will pay off and make you feel in more control.
We’ve put together some information that will help you think about your next steps after you graduate.
Careers Service
When you’re ready, book an appointment with the Careers Service for tailored advice and guidance on your next steps.
After you graduate, you’ll still have access to all the careers support you have as a student. You can sign up to MyCareer as a graduate to search job vacancies and helpful resources.
