Speak to your Academic Advisor
You can speak to your Academic Advisor about your career path and what steps you can take.
Your school will let you know who your Academic Adviser is (in your student handbook or online) and you can search for advisers in KentVision.
Support for taught postgraduates
If you’re studying for a taught master’s degree, you can sign up to the Global Skills Award to improve your skills and chances of getting your dream job after your Master’s.
The Global Skills Award will broaden your understanding of global issues and current affairs, as well as many of the graduate attributes top graduate employers are looking for.
The programme runs for six-months and is completely free.
Support for research postgraduates
If you’re a research postgraduate you can sign up for the Researcher Development Programme.
The programme will develop your skills as a researcher and ensure you’re not only highly-qualified but employable at the end of your research too!
