UCL CAREERS SERVICE

A series of Careers Adviser led information sessions and workshops aimed at the needs of Masters students which will be useful to you whether your aim is to get a job on completion of your course or if you are aiming to stay in academia. A range of topics are covered and you are welcome to attend all or some of them. These include:

• Career Planning & Job Hunting
• How to Find and Fund a PhD
• Writing Effective Applications
• Succeeding at Interviews & Assessment Centres (Spring Term)
  

YES! For all workshops, you MUST book in advance to guarantee a place. This enables us to monitor attendance levels and ensure that they are more effective for those attending.

The Masters QuickFix Programme is co-ordinated by UCL GradSchool - bookings must be made through their website. (Follow link for ‘Career Management and Employability Skills’ under the ‘Centrally Based Training’ heading, then select and register for one or more of the QuickFix courses). If you have any queries about booking, please contact the Graduate School. No deposit is required once you've booked and all workshops are free to attend.

Can I attend if I haven't booked?

These workshops are popular and usually fully booked. After all registered students have arrived, space permitting, students that haven't booked will be admitted on a first come first served basis but we cannot guarantee entry.

The Help With... section of our website suggests a range of resources on all of the topics covered in the QuickFix! programme. 

Using these in advance will help you get more out of the workshops.
