Course Overview

Our course is specifically targeted at giving you the skills you need to pursue a successful career. Whether this is in a welfare-related field (perhaps managing wild or captive animals, assessing welfare in a professional capacity, or in academic research) or in a broader career (journalism, teaching, or policy-making perhaps), we will help you stand out from the crowd in your applications.

We are here to help you plan your future, make the most of your time at University, and to enhance your employability. We provide access to part-time jobs, extra-curricular employability-enhancing workshops and offer practical one-to-one help with career planning, including help with CVs, applications and mock interviews. We also deliver group sessions on career planning within each course and we have a wide range of extensive information covering graduate jobs and postgraduate study.

Students and graduates of the University of Chester can use our services free of charge for up to two years after graduating.
