  • An indispensable service

    Our free careers service is available throughout your time here, and for three years after you leave. All our careers advisers hold, or are studying for, a Diploma in Careers Guidance.

    Brookes’ careers service was indispensable – they helped me to identify my strengths and skills as well as improve my CV writing. They were eternally friendly and helpful.
