Your 'futures'

A realistic Guide to life at UCLan - written by students!


Yes, it is early days but you need to start thinking about your employability as soon as you start uni.  Think about how many other students will graduate alongside you – what is going to make you stand out from the crowd?

Being at University is not just about getting a good degree, it is also the time to develop those extra skills to make you ready for the world of work. UCLan ‘futures’ is all about helping you develop your employability and enterprise skills as well as providing advice, guidance and information about your future career.  Think of the generic skills you need – team work, communication, organisation skills - and use your experiences; such as being part of a club or society, or your part-time job, as well as help from futures; to develop those highly important employability and enterprise skills that will ensure you are fully equipped to make a success of your future, whatever career path you choose.

Get ahead of the rest by gaining the new futures award , a university certificate that recognises and rewards your achievements in all areas of employability and enterprise.
