Graduate and student career experts Prospects have launched four new publications. Whether you are student, postgrad, interested in law or considering a career within STEM, there is a guide for you!
The Student Career Guide offers information and help with your career journey as a student or a graduate. There is help with employability such as planning a career path, overseas experiences and how to make the most of your gap year. There are also chapters on the 21 most important sectors of work in the UK to explore and find what areas interest you as well as tips on job hunting and what goes into applications and interviews. This guide is an ideal guide for every student who wants to explore their options and get support on moving their career forward.
The Postgraduate Study Guide is an essential guide to successfully managing, applying and making the most of your postgraduate programmes, whether a UK or international student. There is information in getting started with postgraduate study, subject choice, funding, applying, university choice, studying abroad and how to prepare for postgraduate study so this guide really does cover all of your bases and is a must-read for anyone thinking about or going into further studies.
The Guide to Career in Law has all the information you need to help you including various law courses, conversion programmes, training contracts and opportunities from a selection of the UK’s top law firms. There are inside views from universities and companies as well as advice on becoming involved in law and skills that will benefit your career in law. You should read this whether you are set on a career in law or you are just considering it as one of your options.
The Guide to a Career in STEM provides help with the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths sectors. It helps you discover the opportunities available to you using your degree as well as how you can prepare for your postgraduate studies in STEM. Each sector has information on further study and apprenticeship options as well as job profiles which provide possible roles you could have in your STEM career and facts about those roles. If any part of the STEM sectors interest you, this will give you all the information you need and introduce you to what you could achieve.
All of these digital guides are downloadable and printable and completely free to access. So as a student or a graduate, follow the links below and learn about what you could achieve (and don’t forget to sign up to Prospects for even more career guidance and opportunities)!
