Graduate employers not only ask for a degree qualification, they expect job applicants to bring a range of skills that they have gained outside of their studies, e.g. through work experience, volunteering, part-time jobs. Strathclyde University Careers Service will be happy to help you to prepare for your future graduate career once you become a member of Strathclyde University.

At some stage we all make choices about the career path we will follow. We can help you with this process if:

• You are unsure where to start,
• You have no idea of the career that would suit you,  
• You have some vague ideas but need support to think them through,
• You need help finding more information

It is never too early to start thinking about your future career. We're happy to work with you from first year, throughout your degree and beyond graduation - at whatever stage you’ve reached in your thinking.

Choosing My Career
A great place to start is with our interactive online course Choosing My Career. It will help you make it a conscious and thoughtful decision, giving you the best chance of choosing a career path that suits your personality, skills and strengths.

This course helps you to:

• Understand the process of making a career decision
• Think about what you want from a career
• Explore the options available to you
• Plan your next steps to make it happen

2 Years PSW is applicable after the course completing (Bachelors level or above).

Normally, a first or upper second-class Honours degree from a UK university (or equivalent overseas qualification) in any civil engineering discipline.

Applicants with a degree in environmental engineering, maths, physics and mechanical engineering may also be considered.

Lower degree classifications might be considered if there is strength elsewhere (for example, relevant work experience, excellent final project/dissertation, very strong academic letter of reference, very strong application statement linking with career goals.)
