Career Development

In addition to the support given by subject specialist staff throughout all module teaching, especially within the placement modules, the College also offers a Careers Service which interfaces with employers and promotes employment opportunities within the College and to our graduates.

The HE Careers Service delivers embedded careers education; where students can access further information, advice and guidance in support of their personal progression plan - be this post graduate education, graduate schemes, enterprise support, volunteering and gap experiences or further job applications and interview preparation.

The service offers a year round programme of careers events to include a Graduate Careers Fair, Interview Workshops, Enterprise Days, Industry Guest Speakers, CV and Job Application Workshops and Post Graduate course application support. Along with the offer of one-to-one careers and progression interviews and a virtual jobs board advertising graduate jobs, graduate scheme and internship opportunities.

1st year Degree MACWC (Management of Animal Collections with Conservation) students recently took a trip to Scotland to take part in some Conservation Projects and Zoo Management talks as part of their course. All the students enjoyed snorkelling with seals and sharks; whilst being involved in basking shark surveying and behaviour observations. The trip also involved a visit to Edinburgh Zoo and the Highland Wildlife Park and a Rare Breeds Society Farm, where the students learnt about the conservation efforts taking place. A fun trip for all, especially with the variety of Scottish weather and the first time camping for many students! Interested in studying with University Askham Bryan? we are open for Clearing for a September 2019 start date.
