Careers and Employability

The Careers and Employability Service is dedicated to supporting you in turning your creativity into a great career.

Recruiters are looking to employ graduates with the right skills, personal attributes and industry experience that will make them great assets to their organisations. This is why course teams ensure employability is embedded in your curriculum, and why we provide quality information and guidance to help you stand out and prepare you to embark on your professional future.

We also have a dedicated careers platform (AUB AdvantageCareer Hub) for students and alumni with careers resources, job opportunities and events. Students are also able to book an appointment with a Careers Coach.

Portfolios should show examples of your work – both finished and work in progress – that demonstrate your interests and skills.
