Where could your Earth Sciences degree take you?
Join us for an afternoon of career exploration, networking and inspiration with professionals, alumni and employers from across the Earth Sciences sector.
Meet people who once studied Earth Sciences themselves and discover how their careers have taken them into areas such as environmental consultancy, engineering, sustainability, research, policy, natural resources and beyond.
Whether you already know what you want to do or are still exploring your options, this is a chance to discover new possibilities, ask questions and start building connections for your future.
There are preparatory sessions with the Careers Service to get the most out of ‘Your Future in Earth Sciences’ day.
What’s happening on the day?
PRE-SESSSIONS (13:00-14:00. Wills Memorial Building. G27 Hook Lab)
There are three pre-sessions with the Careers Service to help you prepare, refine your pitch, build confidence, and approach employers with confidence.

- 13th October - Identifying your skills and creating an effective CV. Recognise the valuable skills you have developed through your studies and fieldwork, and learn how to present them effectively in a CV tailored to different opportunities.
- 20th October - How to get the most out of ‘Your Future in Earth Sciences’.
