University of Bedfordshire

Many courses include practical industry experience and work placements, giving students the chance to make professional contacts and build their CV. Graduates can often find permanent jobs within their work-placement organisations. Students can get university-based work experience at the University of Bedfordshire where there are a number of paid roles open to students. Student Ambassadors gain skills such as time management, customer service and teamwork, and use this work as a reference for their first job out of university. University careers’ advisers from the Careers and Employability Service actively assist graduates in finding employment and continue to assist them as alumni. The EmployAble programme meanwhile helps students through extra-curricular activities to build skills and experience to improve employability.
