The careers guidance service provides students with the information, advice and guidance they need before, during and after their time at UCS. The service is available to all current and prospective students, as well as to graduates of UCS within three years of their graduation.
The commitment to careers and employability across the curriculum is an important characteristic of the courses offered at UCS and students are encouraged to get involved in exciting opportunities that can greatly enhance employability.
