Karen McCann
Careers Consultant

Dear student

Well done for getting to the end of another difficult year and congratulations to all of you who will be graduating soon!

Remember, you can continue to access the University's Careers Service for up to 2 years after you graduate. That includes using MyFuture, booking Careers Consultations and attending fairs and other employer events. Follow us on social media (@QUBCareers, FacebookInstagram) to find out about opportunities.

Below I've listed some examples of graduate jobs, placements and internships and some suggestions for opportunities to gain work experience over the summer.

Tomorrow sees the launch of Development Weeks – two weeks of live events aimed at enhancing your personal and professional development outside of your lectures and classes.

Whether you want to speak more confidently in meetings, find a professional mentor or learn how to manage conflict, there is an event for you.

Best wishes
