What next?
Graduation is the first step to a range of options. Some students may go on to further study while others may go out into the workforce to pursue a career.
Whatever a student chooses to do after graduating, the Faculty of Science encourages its alumni to keep in touch and continue to use the career resources available on the Science Student Centre website and the University's main career centre, Careers & Employment.
