Meet the team

We provide professional, impartial, and confidential careers information, advice and guidance to students while they are studying and for three years after graduation.

We're friendly and helpful - so why not meet the careers team?

In the summer of 2024, we achieved the Membership Quality Standard from our professional body AGCAS (the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services).

The accreditation follows a rigorous peer-reviewed, self-evaluation process, focusing on the high standard of professionalism delivered by the Service.

The Membership Quality Standard also aims to recognise good practice in service leadership and management, stakeholder insight and collaboration, and professional expertise.
