EMPLOYMENT & CAREERS


The University of Dundee is proud of its graduate employment record and offers many opportunities throughout their course for students to plan for their career after graduation.


Careers Service www.dundee.ac.uk/careers The Careers Service offers a variety of services including careers guidance, job-seeking strategies, guidance for applications and interviews, careers information and the opportunity to participate in a programme of events and presentations. We have six discipline- specific qualified Careers Advisors who can advise on career options and help you reach your career goals.


• The JobShop is an online vacancy database which lists available part-time, vacation, graduate, work experience and legal vacancies and is available to all students who register.


• The Placement Basement organises internships and work experience placements for students. Careers staff try to find students a work experience placement to increase their employability after graduation.


• The Scottish Internship Graduate Certificate (SIGC) is the first of its kind in the UK. It is an eight month long course incorporating a six month internship with career planning and degree related modules and is open to graduates.


• Undergraduate modules in Career Planning and Internship. The Career Planning module involves the development of presentation skills and CV, application and interview techniques. The Internship module allows you to gain some real experience in the workplace undertaking a 30 hour placement in a business, teaching centre or media organisation and combine this with classes covering career planning issues.


• Throughout the year the Careers Service also holds recruitment fairs where employers visit the campus. Many of our graduates (alumni) also act as workplace mentors for our current and recently graduated students.
