Wireless Communications MSc: After you graduate

The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing has a specialist Employability Team. It provides friendly and high-quality careers and recruitment guidance, including advice and sessions on job seeking skills such as CV preparation, application forms and interview techniques. Specific advice is also available for international students about the UK job market, employers' expectations and requirements, and how to apply for a post-study two-year work visa.

The team runs employer events throughout the year, including job fairs, key speakers from industry and interviews on campus. These events give you the opportunity to hear from, and network with, employers in an informal setting. For example, here students are practising their interview skills with employers at a 'speed interviewing' event on campus.

Listen to employability co-ordinator Katie Llewellyn-Cripps talk about how we prepare our students for employment:

Wireless communications is a booming global industry. There is a high demand from commercial organisations for professionals equipped with the necessary combination of technical and managerial skills to successfully manage the new emerging technologies in networks and wireless systems.

After graduation students will have the skills and knowledge needed to pursue leading positions with wireless and mobile operators, wireless manufacturers, telcos and regulatory bodies. They may also choose to pursue careers in research and development – the University's expanding Wireless, Multimedia and Networking Research Group regularly advertises research positions (read more in the Research areas section).
