Our School regularly holds events, such as our work-related learning and volunteering fairs. These events get you networking with potential employers and will also help you to secure work experience opportunities.
We'll invite professionals to give special lectures
Professionals with specialist industry knowledge deliver workshops and seminars that relate to your modules. Previously, speakers have come from organisations such as the Symphony Housing Group, National Museums Liverpool and the Citizens Advice Bureau. These sessions provide you with fantastic insight into your subject and its relationship to the world of work.
We'll encourage you to take part in our research community
Innovative thinking and discovery is a vital part of your university education, which is why we encourage you to participate in research. For example, in English, students publish their own research online as part of the innovative module ‘Prison Voices’.
We'll provide you with a personal tutor
As one of our students you will be assigned a member of staff from your programme as your personal tutor, who is there to help support your academic, personal and career development.

Our School’s dedicated Careers Advisors run regular sessions that should boost your employability. Sessions vary, but we have previously run an Introduction to LinkedIn and Graduate Schemes Uncovered. We also have group sessions on topics like Identifying Work Experience Opportunities, Creative Job Searches and ‘Getting into Teaching’.
