Students come to Staffordshire University for a personal journey, the individuals who have aspirations, skills, knowledge, ambition and are ready to study hard but have fun along the way. 

All teams at the University support our students during their time and watch them grow.  The Career & Personal Development team offer students support from the day they start until the day they are happy and settled into a Career.  A unique offer – A lifetime of support.

After 15 months of graduating our team contacts hundreds of students every year, we ask about Life after Staffordshire University. Are they settled into a career related to their degree? Are they happily working – considering ‘Every Degree Matters’? or would they like support from our service? Our aim is to listen, congratulate, refer and prepare them for the Graduate Outcome Survey.  

Some of the students I spoke to have careers in the following:

Product Designer working in Dudley

Games Programmer in Leeds

Digital Marketer in Stoke on Trent

Physio for a Premier Football Club

3D Modeller for a multinational car manufacturer

Police Officers in the West Midlands

Members of the Armed forces

Teachers and Lecturers

A model for sportswear and actor furloughed waiting to work on a film.

Software Developers working for digital companies

Animal Care Worker for an Agriculture College

Youth Ministers

Analyst working for an Environmental company

Students doing Masters at Staffordshire, Birmingham & London

Students doing PGCE’s

Its has been great to reconnect with students who have contacted the Career Studio for further support.
