Careers and employability
At UCL we take your future ambitions seriously and provide you with the support you need to realise your full potential.
Realise your ambitions
At UCL Careers our team of experienced careers professionals is dedicated to helping you find the right path to ensure success in your future career.
We provide support to help you find graduate jobs or further studypositions and advise you on the opportunities you have during your time at UCL.
UCL Careers is part of The Careers Group, University of London, and you can also attend events hosted by it.
Enhance your capabilities with UCLSU
UCL Careers and Students’ Union UCL run a joint programme of skills development activities known as Skills Sessions. These involve employers coming onto campus to coach you in areas such as leadership, negotiation and problem solving, while helping you with the application process, from CV writing to mock interviews with feedback.
