From Study to Work

Overview

The transition from study to work involves explaining what your academic experience enables you to do. This proposed pathway focuses on connecting projects, research and learning with the responsibilities of possible professional roles.

The emphasis is on translating experience accurately and identifying preparation needs. A first professional step may involve further research, improving an application or developing a particular skill. The pathway does not provide a placement or imply that graduation automatically leads to employment.

This is a proposed activity in the Career Development catalogue. The themes below explain its intended focus; they are not a confirmed session programme. Delivery format, dates, language, participation requirements and any costs will be communicated only after they have been confirmed.

This activity is planned. Dates, delivery arrangements and participation availability require confirmation.

What this pathway focuses on

• Identify evidence from study: describe your contribution to projects, research, presentations or collaborative work.
• Understand role expectations: compare an official role description with the experience and skills you can demonstrate.
• Prepare professional materials: select relevant examples for a CV, profile, application or interview.
• Plan the transition: prioritise the information, practice and application tasks needed for your next step.

Who this pathway is for

Students and recent graduates exploring how academic experience connects with professional pathways.

Prepare your next step

Choose one academic project and one role type you want to investigate. Note what the project shows about your skills and what the role would require you to learn or explain more clearly. Any participation conditions will be confirmed separately; this preparation guidance is not an eligibility rule.
