“The careers service here have a wealth of knowledge and advice! To all students, I would definitely say to start thinking about potential options sooner rather than later to utilize the resources at the University of Gloucestershire.”

“The Your Future Plan service completed my university experience by bridging the gap between university and the real world. What concerned me the most before entering a university was whether I’d be able to find a job and do it well. Your Future Plan reminded me that the university is not only delivering academic knowledge but also supporting me on my career.”

Suzanne Luong, MA Communications, PR and Media student
