What we do
Career Zone is a service created especially for our current students and our alumni.
We’re a one-stop shop, providing you with a support network that enables you to grow and develop from your first few weeks until you achieve your career aims, and beyond.
We work with industry
As a careers-led university, we work alongside industry partners to deliver practical education to our students and innovative solutions to 21st century problems for our partners and society.
We collaborate with external partners to ensure courses are up to industry standards and to give our students unique opportunities, like our recent partnership with AWS Educate which gives all our students free access to cloud-computing skills.
