Career support

The MSc has one overarching aim - to help you determine your career goals and realise your ambitions. It is a concept that runs at the very heart of the programme.

Gaining new knowledge and skills, working with multi-cultural groups and developing a personal network that will provide lifelong connections, will all contribute to achieving your goals.

The My Career programme, managed by our in-house careers manager, focuses on building students' skills and networks and creating opportunities to develop their own career. This is supported by:

• Advice and guidance sessions
• Workshops
• A guest speaker series
• Careers fairs
• A comprehensive online careers site
• Networking opportunities with corporate contacts and alumni

We also work in close collaboration with the University's central Careers Service.
