Prepare for your career

Secure your desired position within several months of completing your course – or even while you’re still studying!

More than 80 of the world’s leading organisations personally visit our campus each year at a range of events to recruit our students from all degrees: from the ANZ and ATO through to PricewaterhouseCoopers and Proctor & Gamble.

As well as access to some of the world's top employers face to face, you’ll also have access to the University’s official job database for students — Careers Online. Access part-time, casual or volunteer positions while you study or look for a graduate role or full-time position as you come to the end of your studies. Thousands of opportunities are listed each year for our students.

Planning your career

Deciding what you’ll do after university requires planning, preparation and initiative. We have dedicated services, support and tools to help students with make decisions, develop employability skills and build industry experience while studying.

Whether you're choosing your first career, changing direction or gaining that competitive edge, our careers and employability support services will help you with your application, resume, interview skills, cover letters and all the things you need to know when you are starting a new job.

Make your experience matter

A dedicated week of employability activities and events runs each year. Current students from The University of Melbourne get the opportunity to explore a range of experiences that will help bolster their career story.

The week provides students with an opportunity to connect with employers, explore opportunities that will assist them in building their employability skills and to learn how to translate these skills when applying for future employment. One of our key events, the Careers & Opportunities Fair, has employers in attendance who offer internships, graduate positions and volunteer opportunities to our students.
