Your career

Being part of such a large and international community means that you have the opportunity to get support and advice from people of all different backgrounds and experience. The one thing you all have in common - the University of Edinburgh. Whether you're looking for some sound careers tips, to make new social connections, or want to kickstart a business idea, the Edinburgh alumni community is here for you.

"Take your time, there is so much to discover after university. Accept that you will try things that aren't for you, keep an open mind and create the experience you want!"

Serena, 2022 Biomedical Sciences graduate

 

The Careers Service is here to support you with your graduate career. 

All our graduates get full access to the Careers Service for two years after graduation. Whatever stage you are at we are here to support you at this exciting, and sometimes daunting, time. Our resources for graduates include online toolkits, full access to MyCareerHub for graduate vacancies and our events and access to one-to-one support from our team. If you don’t know what to do after graduation then make an appointment to speak to one of our Careers Consultants. We also have a range of resources to support your professional development as you move into post-university work.
