Our Careers Service help prepare students for life after university (especially Graduate employment). They will help you to develop your personal, learning and employability skills: crucial for finding a graduate job. They can support you for up to three years after you have left.
They hold a percentage of work placements and employment opportunities specifically for student carers (and other disadvantaged students). We also try an arrange some work placements or employment opportunities to be based working from home, or to be flexible around the hours/days of work.
Careers also promote graduate job vacancies, summer roles, placements, projects, Internships and lots of other ways to develop your work-related skills and to connect and work with local employers.
The Careers Service ensures every student carer can get advice and input on their graduate CV, or the opportunity of a one-to-one consultation to explore their own career plans and help clarify their options post-graduation.

All new, first and second year students at Abertay study four short online modules: these are called our micro-credentials or MySuccess modules.
These are small online modules worth 5 credits each, there are 16 to choose from. These modules help you gain knowledge, skills and attributes important for your personal development, and complement your main degree.
The ones we think would really help student carers are:
Planning your career.
Well-being tricks and tools.
The future in work.
Find out more about MySuccess modules on the intranet.
