Career Planning

At the Career Zone, we want to help you with your career planning, whatever stage you are at. Whether it's a case of not knowing the sector you’re interested in yet or the options that your degree offers you. Or perhaps you are very clear on your chosen career, want to skip those early stages and get help with your applications, this Career Planning section of our website should help you.

At registration every year, every new or continuing student must indicate their current level of career planning by picking one of ten statements. The Career Zone aims to equip students to 'Reflect', 'Explore', 'Focus' and 'Act' to help you follow your chosen graduate career path.

This ‘Careers Registration’ helps us to define the support you need at your stage of career planning.
