Where your future matters

From day one, there are a huge range of ways to get involved and get support during your time as a Winchester student (and for life!) to help launch you into a great graduate job. Our Careers and Opportunities Hub offers you:

■ An easy way to browse the range of extracurricular opportunities provided to you by your University and the Student Union through the Get Involved button.

■ First-rate employability support and advice for life, including: one-to-one advice with a Careers Advisor, workshops and info sessions and CareerConnect, our platform for finding jobs whether part-time whilst you study or there are jobs once you graduate.

■ Support with finding volunteering and work placements.

■ A Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR): your online, University-verified record of your academic transcript and all the different extracurricular activities you do as a student.

■ The Winchester Employability Fund to support you to volunteer or complete an unpaid work experience or internship.

■ Opportunities to make a difference by getting involved with Winchester Hub, our local branch of the national charity Student Hubs, which is all about student-powered social change through a host of different volunteering experiences.

■ Study abroad opportunities: obviously subject to the latest Covid travel restrictions, many of our courses give you the chance to study in America, Europe, Canada or Asia.

■ All final year students are invited to apply to participate in the University of Winchester’s Professional Mentoring Scheme. Successful applicants will be matched with a working professional to gain employment support and advice. Starting in the autumn, you will meet them about once a month to gain from their insight and experience. It is a great opportunity to develop confidence and communication skills, expand your professional contacts and gain tailored advice from a knowledgeable professional, learning from their career stories. Find out more on the intranet.
