Preparing our students for the world of work
We want you to be in a good position to face the demands of a tough economic environment. Our courses and volunteering opportunities allow you to develop transferable skills and many of our degrees include a study abroad option. We have an excellent Careers Service and our new Skills Passport will enable you to take advantage of a range of additional modules and extracurricular activities offered by the University and the Students’ Union to enrich your overall learning experience and prepare you further for the world of work.
Good employment prospects on graduation
We take great pride in our efforts to ensure that our graduates are in employment at the end of their courses. 90% of Trinity Saint David graduates are in employment or further study within 6 months of graduating according to HESA’s Destination of Leavers in Higher Education 2011.
Developing skills
The University also provides many opportunities for students to take part in activities that will broaden their experiences and skills. Some are provided as part of the courses; others are in addition. They all, however, enable students to develop employability skills and become familiar with workplace practices. More...
