Your career

Whatever stage you are at on your graduate career path, the University is here to support you at this exciting, and sometimes daunting, time.

Two-year access to career support for all graduates

It can take a little time to settle into your post-university life which is why you can continue to access support from the Careers Service for two years after graduating. If you are graduating in 2023 then the Careers Service is here to support you with a tailored package of support.

Graduate Coaching

If you’re struggling to get your post-university career started then a Graduate Coaching appointment with one of our Careers Consultants is a great place to start. You can book these online appointments through MyCareerHub.

Graduate Toolkits

The Careers Service has a graduate toolkit to support you. Whether you are not sure what you should do, you are ready to make applications or want to make a successful start in your first job. With our online toolkits you can make progress with your career at a time and place that suits you.

Help for newly employed graduates

If you’re starting a graduate job and want to make an impact, the Careers Service has created resources to help you develop the skills you need to thrive in the professional world.

Support for entrepreneurs

You’re eligible to receive free support and advice from Edinburgh Innovations for up to two years after you graduate, including one-to-one appointments with a business adviser, and specialist workshops.

Watch out for the Graduate Outcomes Survey

Be part of the picture and contribute to the UK’s biggest annual social survey. Anyone graduating from a university in the UK will be invited to take part in the Graduate Outcomes Survey around 15 months after completing their course.
