Masters students - How can the Careers Service help you?
You may think we're here just for undergraduates. We're not! We specialise in helping postgraduates with their careers and recognise that you may have very different experience and ambitions from undergraduates.
There are several reasons you may have chosen to do a Masters:
- you love your subject and want to study it further
- it's vocational and you need it to take the next step in your career
- it's an opportunity to learn something new and change direction in your life
- or for entirely different reasons of your own
Whether you know what you want to do after your Masters year, have a vague idea but nothing fixed, or have completely no idea what might come next - the Careers Service has resources and people to support you. We're here for you all year - and for 2 years after you graduate. On these pages you will find information to help you make the most of your Masters year at Manchester and to help you plan for your future.
This section of our website:
- provides downloadable guides, timetables, information and advice on how to make the most of your Masters year
- demonstrates the wide variety of career options available to Masters graduates
- helps you consider whether or not PhD study is the next step for you
- provides the information you need to find jobs and apply for them
We may be seen as experts in undergraduate careers, but many Careers Service staff are also postgraduates or mid-career changers, and we have experienced a wide range of careers. We can’t promise to be experts in your postgraduate specialism, but we can help with our own specialism – supporting your career.
