Careers and graduate success

Preparing you for a bright future

Support that goes beyond your degree

Taking you further

Our comprehensive careers programme helps you explore opportunities, develop new skills and build networks, even beyond graduation. 

Career guidance, tailored to you

At Kent, we help you find your career, not just your first job. Every student has access to one-to-one support for up to three years after graduation, helping you build the right skills and find opportunities.

Our Careers and Employability Service runs more than 600 events a year, from our annual Employability Festival to skills workshops. 

Programmes such as Study Plus and Empower help students of all backgrounds build the skills they need to stand out, with free sessions and added qualifications.

You’ll also be able to access our Alumni Careers Network: a global community of employers, mentors and trailblazers.
