Your degree is only one part of your story - it doesn’t have to dictate your career. If you’ve ever wondered whether you have to follow the “expected” path for your subject, this session is for you.
This practical and interactive workshop explores how graduates can build fulfilling careers in non‑linear and unexpected ways. Through real examples, reflective activities, and actionable advice, we’ll challenge the idea that your degree locks you into one route and help you uncover the skills and strengths you already have.
You’ll leave with greater clarity and confidence, a better understanding of your transferable skills, and practical tools to explore opportunities that genuinely suit you - without the pressure of choosing the “perfect” path.
What will you learn?
- Identify your transferable skills: recognise the skills you’ve already built through your course, projects, and experiences - even the ones you didn’t realise employers value.
- Challenge degree‑to‑job misconceptions: explore real examples of people who used their degrees in unexpected sectors and learn how to spot the same opportunities for yourself.
- Match skills to real careers: understand how degrees like law, psychology, biomedical sciences, finance, business, pharmacology, and nutrition, etc. connect to roles across industries - far beyond traditional pathways.
- Practical tools for exploring your options: learn what to look out for when reading job descriptions and discover small, low‑risk steps to test your career interests.
There is no degree requirement, anyone is welcome to sign up!
Please note the Graduate Success Series is aimed at final-year students, postgraduates and recent graduates from classes of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
