Our dedicated careers team is here to provide expert advice and guidance on all aspects of your career journey and progression.
We offer a comprehensive programme of careers-related learning, with activities embedded into your course as well as additional opportunities outside the classroom. These are designed to help you make informed choices and prepare for the next steps in your career.
Each of our colleges has a dedicated Careers Adviser on campus. All of our advisers hold, or are working towards, a Level 6+ Careers Development qualification, ensuring you receive professional, impartial guidance tailored to your goals.
If you are currently at school or another college, we would encourage you to speak to your school or college Careers Adviser if you are unsure which courses may interest you.
