GCU takes great pride in providing exceptional student support. We offer a full range of services to help make your time at university as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible. Don’t let things get on top of you, seek out the support you need.
Accessing our Careers Service
The Careers Service is a great place to start the process of deciding what you want to do with your future, even when you might not know what the next steps are.
Careers Advisers often see students who have no idea what they want to do after university. They can help piece together a plan for you based on your interests and qualifications.
The Career Advisers are experienced in working with students with disabilities and can give you practical and realistic advice on questions you have relating to your disability, such as disclosing disabilities in the workplace and reasonable adjustments – both for the interview stages and once you have started in your new role. The Careers Service also helps with preparing for interviews, practising psychometric tests and writing graduate CVs and application forms.
In the meantime
