There are also lots of resources on Handshake that you might find useful – whether you want to explore your career options, find how to connect with employers, or need information to help with the different stages of the recruitment process.

If you’re considering studying a Masters, during June and July we’re running free sessions to help you explore your options on campus. You can find out more about the Move to Masters sessions via Student News.

If you are graduating this summer then don’t forget to update your contact details and let us know your plans – we’d love to keep in touch, and this will also allow you to continue accessing Handshake and our careers support after graduation.

Library

Major work is set to start on the redesign, replacement and expansion of the Sydney Jones Library toilet facilities.

This work will start from June and will continue throughout the summer period and into the next academic year. The Sydney Jones Library Grove Wing and Special Collections and Archives will be closed to users between Monday 3 June and Sunday 15 September.

Physical items from the core library collection should be requested via click and collect, and we ask that users plan ahead and borrow material before 3 June where possible.

The Postgraduate Researcher Reading Room (Ground Floor Grove wing) will also be closed over the summer, and postgraduate users are invited to use the dedicated Postgraduate Study Space on 2nd Floor, Abercromby Wing, during this time.

These works will only affect the Sydney Jones Library. The Harold Cohen Library is unaffected. For more details, read the Library update via Student News and check the library’s Instagram and Twitter/X for project updates.
