Starting a career as an international graduate in a new country can be challenging which is why we have created our UK Professional Development bootcamp.

What’s involved?

This exclusive three-day programme designed specifically for international students has been developed in partnership with SRS, a leading provider of employee assessments.

The intensive bootcamp will help you to develop your confidence and abilities to secure employment and career experience here in the UK once you have completed your Masters course at UWE Bristol. The programme covers UK workplace culture, communication skills, recruitment tips, employer expectations, and mixes workshops and online activities with insights from UK employers and international graduates currently working in the UK.

The bootcamp culminates in a virtual assessment centre on the final day, after which you will will receive a detailed report on your career strengths and areas for development.

You will also receive a certificate of participation from the university which you can include in your CV.

The bootcamp is tailored to international postgraduate students studying:

·       Cyber Security

·       Data Science

·       Information Technology

·       Engineering Management

·       Construction Project Management
