Faculties
Career Services supports faculties in guiding students with their study and Master's choices, as well as their transition into the labour market. We work with you to explore how students can best be supported, what guidance fits within your degree programme, and how our expertise can complement your existing provision.
Together, we identify what works best for your faculty, whether that involves contributing to the curriculum or developing activities that help students prepare for their next step.
What we offer
We tailor our support to the needs of each programme. This may include:
- Workshops (pdf) on career exploration, job applications, labour market preparation, and finding internships;
- Guest lectures within courses or programme components, such as internships or honours programmes;
- One-to-one appointments with students about Master's choices and career related questions;
- Advice for faculties on effectively supporting students with study and career decisions;
- Curriculum development, such as embedding career learning activities or supporting internship initiatives;
- Strengthening career management skills, including networking and professional self presentation.
We would be pleased to work with you to help prepare your students for the future. If you would like to explore the possibilities, please get in touch.
