MSc Handbook - Personal Development and Employability

Our Careers and Placements team can help you with career planning, getting experience, developing your skills and strengths, job hunting and making applications, preparing for interviews and aptitude tests, as well as providing information about further study and funding. 

Our Career Journey helps you build a portfolio of skills and experience by outlining a timeline of activities we offer. Our unique York Strengths programme helps you understand both what you are good at and what you enjoy doing, so that you can focus on a career that suits you. You can apply for the York Award, the University’s certificate of personal and professional development, to demonstrate that you have taken a proactive approach to your time at university. 

We also organise careers fairs and events, volunteering opportunities, internships and support for enterprise to ensure you progress with a competitive edge.
