Purpose

To open students' eyes to the wealth of possibilities ahead of them, while at university and beyond, helping them to explore new avenues, tap into their talents and confidently shape their futures.

Vision

We aim to inspire and empower every University of Edinburgh student to be the best they can be, to fully develop their potential and to achieve satisfying and rewarding futures.

 

Our services

We offer careers information, education, advice and guidance through a range of online provision, activities and 1:1 support to: 

  • matriculated students of the University of Edinburgh 

  • graduates of the University of Edinburgh (access to vacancies and 1:1 support for approximately two years after the end of your course) 

 

If you’re not in one of those groups, you’re welcome to use the information on our website. For other support you may wish to contact one of the following organisations:
