What top tips do you have for York students preparing for today’s job market and life after graduation?

Local students (UK) have so many opportunities and options after completing the degree. However, for international students it is essential to choose the course carefully. They have to check the scope of the degree before getting the admission. Getting a degree is very expensive these days. So you must think of the outcome and benefit of it.

What topics from students are you happy to answer questions on?

Any sort of.

Is there anything else you’d like to tell us?
