Welcome... Foundation and first year: get started
Final year and postgraduate: get ahead It’s amazing how a few months can take your CV from dull to dynamite. If you want to build on your experience, even if it’s limited, developing some additional skills this year will help you to stand out from the crowd. Talk to people today about jobs that interest you, volunteer your time – whether it’s in a local school or helping a small business – and ask our team about career options and opportunities. Whatever you get involved with, make a commitment to set yourself apart. We hope you enjoy the day! Your Careers team
Students’ Union skills development Enactus Postgraduate study
Employers tell us that they want to see more than academic achievement on your CV. Your second year is the ideal time to develop the skills that give you an edge when applying for jobs and internships. One way to do this could be signing up for our accredited award programme, the Nottingham Advantage Award. With 140 modules to choose from, incorporating work experience, volunteering, project management and mentoring, it’s a great way to set yourself apart. Whether you fancy helping out in a local school, curating a student-led exhibition, or getting a part-time job, now’s the time to get involved.
