What is a Careers Consultant?
A Careers Consultant provides impartial and confidential career information, advice and guidance. We do this through 30 minute one-to-one career consultations. These can be done either online or face-to-face in the new Queen's University Belfast One Elmwood Student Centre.
There is a Career Consultant aligned to each school in the University, so you'll often see us out and about in your classes, supporting the delivery of careers and employability within the curriculum.
