Here are three possible pathways you could choose for your next steps after university and how our teams can help.

Attend a Careers Fair
Our upcoming Careers Fairs are a great way of exploring jobs in a range of fields including accounting, law, health, teaching and more. You'll have the chance to meet employers offering work experience and graduate opportunities, get expert advice on the application process and build up your networks.
Become an entrepreneur

There are opportunities and events throughout the academic year to help you grow your entrepreneurial mindset and business skills.
Launch your business
Do you have an interesting idea to start a new business or social enterprise? Sign up for Launch to join an in-person cohort of budding entrepreneurs or access our pre-recorded modules and resources to start or scale up your business. As part of this programme, you will be supported by a team of experts who will work with you at every stage of your start-up journey, providing vital opportunities for networking, mentorship and accessing funding to help you get your idea off the ground.
Postgraduate study
Your time as a student doesn't need to end here - why not consider a postgraduate course at Salford? It's a great option, whether you want to follow your passion, advance your career or enter the world of academia.
The team host events throughout the year to help you learn if postgraduate study is right for you.
To explore any of these options and more, speak to our Careers team. They'll help you plan your next steps and offer useful advice and guidance for whatever stage of the journey you're on.
Visit the Careers Hub in the Lady Hale Building on Peel Park campus to talk to the team directly or book an appointment with an adviser. You can also book a place on live workshops and events throughout the year to enhance your skills and bring you closer to your career goals.
