The Careers Service help prepare students like you through your entire student journey, and for up to three after leaving us. We help you develop personal, learning, and employability skills - crucial for securing a graduate job.
We hold a number of work placements and employment opportunities just for student carers (and other disadvantaged students). We also aim to arrange some that are based on working from home, or have flexible working hours.
We also promote graduate job vacancies, summer roles, placements, projects, internships, part time positions and lots of other ways to help you develop work-related skills and to connect and with employers.
The Careers Service ensures every student carer can get advice and input on their graduate CV, interview preparation and one-to-one consultations to explore your own career plans and help clarify your options after graduation.
Visit the Careers Service section of the website and find the contact details of the Careers Advisor who covers your academic area.
All new, first and second year students at Abertay study four short online modules: these are called micro-credentials or MySuccess modules.
These modules help you gain knowledge, skills and attributes important for your personal development, and complement your main degree. These are small online modules worth 5 credits each, and there are 16 to choose from.
The ones we think would really help student carers are:
Planning your career.
Well-being tricks and tools.
The future in work.
