Careers Centre support for our alumni just got even better!
As well as providing one-to-one support for up to three years after graduation, the Careers Centre now provides lifelong access to our online tools and resources.
What does ‘lifelong access’ mean?
When we say you have ‘lifelong access’ to our subscription resources, it means access doesn’t end when you graduate – there is no deadline, no expiry date, and no limit based on how long ago you completed your degree. Whether you graduated last year or twenty years ago, you can continue using all of our tools and platforms just as you did when you were a student.
Access is available 24/7 and from anywhere in the world. No matter where life or work takes you, the Careers Centre’s resources will always be available, ready to support you at every stage of your career journey.
