Mapping your undergraduate journey
In Careers, we break a student's journey into three steps: Discover, Focus and Act. Loosely, Discover is aimed at first years, Focus is aimed at second years, and Act is aimed at final years. However, these stages aren't strict. Moving backwards and forwards through the stages may be part of finding the right career for you. It's alright to be far ahead or not be at the corresponding stage of your journey. Your future is unique to you to explore one step at a time.
