Careers Support for our graduates
Careers support from University of Chester Careers and Employability, doesn't end when you leave university.
We are here to help you explore, develop or review a career idea or path, discover what’s important to you and work out your next steps. One-to-one Career Advice Meetings, with our friendly and professionally qualified Career Consultants, are available remotely (via MS Teams), over the telephone or in-person. We also offer advice and guidance and have a range of resources on a variety of topics including CVs, applications, interviews, further study, entrepreneurship (starting a business or freelancing) and much more!
Whether you know exactly what you want to do, have changed direction or have no idea what comes next, Careers and Employability is still here for you after you complete your course.
Get individual careers support, discover graduate jobs and paid opportunities, practise applications and interviews, or explore freelancing and starting a business.
Access CareerHub after you complete your course
Graduate CareerHub gives you access to careers information and support tailored to where you are now and what you want to do next. Whether you are exploring options, looking for work, building experience, preparing applications or considering further study or self-employment, you can find relevant resources, opportunities and practical next steps.
Your graduate login is slightly different from your student login. Follow our short guide to get started. If you have difficulty accessing your account, email careers@chester.ac.uk.
See where Chester could take you
There is no single route after university. Chester Made shares real stories from University of Chester graduates who are building careers, continuing their studies, developing businesses and finding their own direction.
Explore their experiences, the challenges they have overcome and how their time at Chester helped shape what came next.
Stay connected through our alumni community
When you complete your course, you become both a graduate and a member of our alumni community. A graduate is someone who has completed a course, while alumni is the collective name for former students of the University.
As a Chester alum, you can stay connected by attending events, joining networking and volunteering opportunities, mentoring students, sharing your experience or returning as a guest speaker. You can also access benefits including lifelong careers support, free lifetime library membership and discounts on eligible postgraduate study.
Graduate Outcomes: tell us where Chester took you
Around 15 months after completing your course, you will be invited to take part in the national Graduate Outcomes survey.
Whether you are working, studying, freelancing, running a business, travelling, caring for others, taking a break or still deciding what comes next, we want to hear from you.
If you have moved straight into a graduate or professional role, please still take part. We will not automatically know what you are doing after university unless you tell us.
It takes around 10 minutes, and your experience helps build a more accurate picture of the different directions Chester graduates take.
