There will be four Career Development Adviser-led workshops taking place in August. Please see the workshop schedule below:

These sessions will be intended for final-year students, but all students and recent graduates are welcome to register for a place on the programme.
Further details about the workshops and how to sign-up for the programme will be shared soon.
Register your graduate account
To continue to access our employability and career support services once you graduate, you will need to update your Surrey Employability Hub account to alumni status. Create your graduate account on the Surrey Employability Hub. Please use an email address which is different to your University email account, because you will no longer have access to this after graduation.
Follow the instructions below for each type of resource on the Employability Hub.
Careers guidance
You can also access our careers advice guidance documents to support you with your graduate job applications. We have guidance to support you with different areas of navigating the job market after graduation, including:
- Preparing to apply for jobs
- Navigating the job selection process
- Using recruitment agencies
- Career planning tips for master's students.
Graduate Outcomes Survey
The Graduate Outcomes Survey is a short questionnaire asking graduates about their activities and views since leaving the University.
You will be contacted 15 months after graduating.
The information you will provide, will help us to inform current students about possible careers and will assist in developing our services.
SurreyConnects
We know that kickstarting your career can be a daunting prospect, so we have introduced SurreyConnects – your place to connect with Surrey alumni and find a career mentor.
You will be able to access SurreyConnects even after you graduate, and one day even become a mentor yourself.
