Postgraduate Students
Planning your postgraduate career development may be a little different from undergraduates. Whether you are just starting out, have limited experience or are experienced professionals looking to join the workforce, the Careers Advisory Service (CAS) is here to support our taught and research postgraduates in developing and managing your career.
We offer advisory and services tailored to your postgraduate career needs. Our activities, workshops and sessions help you to discover more about your pathway and offer industry insights for your career of choice. We could also work with you during virtual one-on-one sessions to identify your career objectives so that you are well-prepared to develop a career plan, acquire the right skills and manage career changes ahead.
