AUB Futures – Careers and Enterprise

AUB Futures – Careers and Enterprise

Making the right choices and learning how to manage your career is crucial to your future happiness and wellbeing.

The Careers and Enterprise team is here to support you at every stage of your professional development, throughout your time at university and beyond.

Every year, we run a range of events with AUB alumni and industry professionals aimed at helping you make informed decisions about your career and enabling you to develop skills and confidence when approaching clients or industry employers.

Working in the arts and creative industries is exciting and we offer a range of workshops aimed at helping you to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for developing your career. As part of the Enterprise Programme, you can meet alumni and hear from start-up experts who’ll provide tips and inspiration for setting up your own business or freelancing.

Alongside events, we offer one-to-one appointments to discuss any career-related subject.
