The Maths Employability Programme is designed by the Careers & Employability Service and brings together bespoke sessions tailored for Maths students and events in the central Careers and Employability Service delivered through a series of workshops, seminars and individualised, 1:1 careers appointments.

It has been designed to help you to progressively build your own portfolio of skills and knowledge throughout your time at University.

This will enhance your employability and employment prospects and help you into a successful career following graduation.

As you well know, competition for graduate careers is now fierce both in the UK and internationally, with many more graduates in the market than was the case a number of years ago.

As a result, employers are more selective and are looking for more than just a good degree from a good university.

They are looking for employees who have a real understanding of their chosen areas of work and have made significant efforts to research into and develop skills that will be useful in the workplace.

03Enhance your employability, increase your career prospects

The programme of events will help you to understand how you can prepare to enter the wide variety of careers related to your degree.
