Employability and skills

A successful future

We want you to be in a good position to face the demands of a tough economic environment. Our courses and volunteering opportunities allow you to develop transferable skills and many of our degrees include a work placement or year abroad. We have an excellent Careers Advisory Service and our reward schemes give you the chance to consolidate and test your skills. With MyFolio, building your own online portfolio can help you reflect and prove your worth to employers.
