A postgraduate qualification gives a real boost to your job prospects, and Warwick has a particularly good record for postgraduate employment. Some Master s courses are directly vocational the MBA, for example while research experience provides those analytical, problem solving and communications skills greatly valued by employers. For some postgraduates, their particular specialism leads naturally to a specific career. For others, there is still the opportunity to consider different options. All postgraduates are encouraged to use the facilities and expertise of the Careers Advisory Service at any time.
Early planning allows time to consider and apply for the full range of options.
Many employers consider postgraduates and undergraduates through the same recruitment process. This involves a cycle of events that starts early in the academic year. For this reason, students on one-year courses are wise to visit our service at an early stage in their time at Warwick. We organise a full programme of events which postgraduates are encouraged to attend, including occupational talks, employer presentations and workshops on job-seeking skills. The Careers Advisory Service is situated in a purpose-built suite on the third floor of the library and contains a well stocked, spacious careers library with information on self assessment and career planning, graduate occupations and employers.
