What do we do?

MRC Employability Centre helps students to plan their future and increase their employability. We offer practical individual help with career planning, including CV writing tips, applications and mock interviews. We conduct group sessions on career development and have broad information on graduate employment and postgraduate study.

Careers Guidance sessions enable students to speak to a counsellor for at least half an hour.

Careers Guidance sessions may include:

  • Encouraging students to review their skills, choices, strengths, weaknesses, principles and their career pathways.
  • Exploring factors influencing students' career development. For instance, this could be a discussion regarding selection criteria, or the academic requirements and funding opportunities for higher courses graduates may be interested in.
