We offer support to help you build the skills that employers are looking for, right from the start of your time at university.
Careers advice
The Careers and Employability Centre is available from the start of your studies to help you gain the skills and experience for the career you want. Specialist resources and professional advisers are available for you, whether you are looking for jobs, brushing up your interview technique or deciding what to do next.
Finding a part-time job
Looking for a part-time job during your studies? Job Zone at the Guild of Students gives you access to hundreds of part-time and temporary vacancies in and around Birmingham.
The Personal Skills Award
The Personal Skills Award (PSA) is an award-winning scheme which provides evidence to employers of skills you have gained at university. You can either get points for your extra-curricular activities or attend an accredited series of employability modules.
Setting up your own business
We actively support our students to develop their business ideas and set up their own businesses. Entrepreneurship and Innovation runs competitions, programmes, and support services for students interested in going into self-employment.
