No-one can make career choices for you but our Career Management Service aims to assist you with your career choices and personal plans by providing practical advice from many relevant sources.

The CMA provides all alumni with advice, guidance and support during the various steps they make whilst going through a career change by offering practical help. This spans from self analysis and understanding the available opportunities through to creating a personal marketing plan, undertaking recruiters’ assessment processes and finally making a decision on the right role.

CMA members can access more in depth information including recommended books, internet links, electronic sources, directories and up-to-date statistical information.
