Anna’s tip for students: “Make the most of your time at university! Get involved in extra-curricular activities, work or volunteering - it’s a great way to build skills, boost your CV, and meet new people. And don’t wait until graduation is on the horizon to use our careers services - starting early can make a real difference.”
