Science Careers Information: 

Futuremorph is a very popular and exciting website with information and ideas for pupils aged 11 onwards. It has a  themed approach that allows users to match their interests to possible careers, and resources for parents teachers and careers staff.

FE Colleges: 

Most FE colleges will have their own teams of careers experts. FE Colleges do try to visit schools in the local area to make pupils and teachers aware of non-university routes. Sadly many schools don’t allow colleges to promote their services, because they prefer to push all pupils to HE. Visit our Youtube channel to see why some students opted for apprenticeships rather than university.

 Graduates:

For undergraduates and graduates, your individual university will have dedicated careers and employability advisers. The main source of online information is available through Prospects. An interactive video library of graduate roles is available at CareerPlayer.
