While all of our services are available to all students at any time, we encourage students to prioritise specific activities based on their stage of career thinking.

These activities are outlined in our Careers Essentials checklists. They have been hand-picked to help students make the most out of their career journey, whether they are in their first, middle, or final year of their undergraduate programme.

Postgraduate students can also review our Careers Essentials guide to help plan their masters programme.
