Graduate information

Hopefully you have now found employment, a place on a postgraduate course or perhaps you are doing something completely different.

However, if you are still looking for a job the good news is that the Career Development Centre can continue to help you.

If you live locally and are able to visit the Career Development Centre you can:

• Chat with a Careers Adviser about job hunting, postgraduate courses, career options and more.
• Search advertised vacancies - search for graduate level vacancies throughout the UK and abroad with our new Shared Graduate Vacancy Service or visit the vacancy pages of Prospects.ac.uk

If you are living outwith the area, you can:

• Visit careers advice for graduates on the Prospects website. It offers a range of interactive services and is specifically designed for graduates no longer in touch with their Careers Development Centre.
• Visit a university careers centre nearer to your home and receive careers advice or job vacancy information. Contact details of other university careers services are available from ourselves.
• Read Prospects Jobs & courses - a digital magazine for graduates.  Published online every fortnight and packed full of the latest jobs, postgraduate courses, advice and information.
• Search advertised vacancies - search for graduate level vacancies throughout the UK and Abroad with our new Shared Graduate Vacancy Service.

Looking for work experience following graduation?

The TalentScotland Graduate Placement Programme can offer an opportunity to work on a short-term project with an established business or social enterprise in Scotland. Organisations of all sizes participate and you receive a minimum salary of £14,000 (pro rata) whilst on your placement.

Participating businesses are dynamic, growth-oriented and located across Scotland, within the private and voluntary sectors. Projects last from three months to one year and will be quantifiable and measureable. You'll also benefit from a minimum of two days' residential business training during your placement.

All placements are advertised through our Graduate Vacancy Service as well as online at Talent Scotland

How you can help us!

We will be contacting graduates a few months after graduation to ask if you have found employment or further study. Please help us by responding to the questionnaire - the information you provide is invaluable and helps us gain a clearer picture on what is happening in the graduate job market.
