Careers and employability
Your future career prospects are important, and we're here to help you prepare for the world of work. Here's how.
As a student at ARU, we'll help you take practical steps to follow your chosen career path, secure jobs and work experience, or start a business. We'll also support you in developing key skills for tomorrow's workplace.
- Our Employability Service offers careers advice and organises events including CV surgeries and company visits.
- We work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects, internships or placements.
- If you've got a brilliant business idea, you can develop and test it through our virtual support hub. There's also the chance to win start-up funding in our annual Big Pitch competition
- There're loads of opportunities to gain experience through our thriving student volunteering scheme.
- Our Employment Bureau can help you find part-time work that fits around your studies (and boosts your CV).
- And finally, you can learn a new language as part of our Anglia Language Programme – available to all ARU students.
