  Jul 23, 2018
You’ve just graduated, and now you are left to decide what new path to take. It’s an exciting time in your life, and plenty of opportunities will soon open up. With every graduate there is a looming sense of fear and unease that inevitably comes with the excitement of it all. It is important to think about everything you have learnt in your degree, and what it has prepared you for. Here is a small guide of things to consider after you have graduated. Don’t turn down interviews In a panic, you may find yourself applying for lots of different jobs, and you may happen to get interviews for the ones you didn’t expect to. Although, you may feel it would be pointless to attend these interviews, you never know if it could be something you actually might want to do and it could change your mind if you attend. Or, if anything, the experience of the interview process will definitely come in handy when you come across a graduate job you really want. Seek experience You don’t have to jump straight into a full time paid role after you graduate – although you probably think you’re expected to. Any […]

  Jun 15, 2018
Summer is great for students to let their hair down after a busy term of studying and exams, it is so important to have that well-deserved break you’ve been longing for. We have suggested a few enjoyable – and also useful – things to do this summer, to make the most of your time off. Get networking Even though you have finished university for the summer, it is important to still carry on networking throughout your time off – you probably already do this without even thinking! Keep meeting new people, make new connections on LinkedIn and never stop keeping a log of everything you do. This will ultimately help you in the long-run when you have finished your degree and need some useful contacts. Get a summer job or internship Although taking a whole summer off seems like a good idea to begin with, we understand it can get feel a bit mundane after the first few weeks. Getting yourself a part-time summer job or even a short-term internship could be the best option for you. After all, you will need a bit of spare cash to fund your exciting activities this summer!

Tips to help a graduate secure a job

  May 11, 2018
So you are finishing your degree, the end is in sight. Everyone is asking you what you are going to do and where you are going on to. It can be difficult to find a job which you want and which suits your degree, therefore, we have created a guide to help you secure a graduate job.   Choose the field Just because you have a degree in one area, it doesn’t mean that has to be the area you have to work in. Many companies employ graduates because they have a degree and it shows certain types of qualities in a person. They don’t necessarily look at the degree type. (Yet obviously in some cases it is essential you have the right degree for the job.)   Build up your experience As the graduate market is getting harder and harder to enter. It is essential that you have some experience to help put you above the rest. If you have to work in other jobs which aren’t specific to your career, then work in them until you find one which you do. It will not only give you an edge when the right job becomes available, but it will […]

Student finance – What is it all about?

  Apr 26, 2018
When it comes to student finance, it is a difficult topic to cover, but we are going to try our best and explain the tricky topic which is student finance.   Summary The maximum amount of tuition fee a university can charge is £9,250 a year. However, a university can charge any amount from free up to this amount, yet most universities charge around £9,000. Full time students starting in 2018 can apply for a maximum loan of £8,700, yet this is dependant of your household income. At the end of the three years, an average student will end up with around £50,000 worth of debt. Yet you won’t start repaying the debt off until you earn £25,000 each year. With repayments of 9% of anything above this. The loan will be cleared when you pay your debt off, or after 30 years, any outstanding debt is cleared.   Myths about tuition fees There are so many myths about tuition fees, so we thought we would put some of them to bed.   You have to be rich to go to university This is a total myth; the university is for all income families. This is why different students receive […]

Gender pay gap at Universities

  Apr 17, 2018
For the first time ever, Universities have had to require their gender pay gap results as part of the government trying to crack down on this big issue. The data shows what was expected; with all universities apart from 3, paid men more than women. The majority of universities paid men more than women with a pay gap in double figures. Some as high as 37.4% difference. This came about due to the government stating that all businesses with employees over 250 have to state their gender pay gap. On average in this industry, the gender pay gap came to 18.4%. Compared to the national average of 9.7%%, it is almost double.     What is the gender pay gap? It is essential that it is not confused with equal pay. This is where men and women are being paid the same amount for the same job being done. However, this has been a legal requirement since 1970. Yet, gender pay gap is the difference between what men and women earn in an organisation or society as a whole.   Why is there gender pay gap? There are many different types of factors which affect this, whether it being senior […]
