Career options

Exploring your career options can seem a daunting task. The resources available to you at the Careers Centre will help you to begin researching options linked to your interests, skills, academic study and professional aspirations. You have the option of speaking to a member of the information staff: they will be able to direct you to the most appropriate resources as well as answering any intial questions that you have. Speaking with a careers adviser is an effective means of generating ideas that you can research further.

The career tools and resources in this section of the website represent a useful starting point in exploring your career options.
