Here are all the resources available to you!

The Careers Service will be taking a short break over the Christmas vacation, observing Imperial’s closure days from Monday 23 December – Wednesday 1 January (inclusive). But fear not, we are not leaving you empty-handed.

Our website

As you may already know, there is a wealth of information available to you through the Careers Service website.

Head to our Plan your career section for advice on exploring your options, starting a business and considering further study. If you’re unsure about what direction you’d like to take with your degree, why not explore our What do Imperial graduates do? and What can I do with my degree? webpages for inspiration.

Our Jobs and experience webpages are a great place to start when looking for industrial placements, work experience, volunteering and jobs. You can also read more about our exclusive opportunities: the Professional Project Fund, Work Shadowing and the SME & White City Internship Schemes.

Finally, check out our Applications and interviews section for guidance and tips on CVs, cover letters, assessment centres, references and much more.
