Whether you’re just not sure what to do next, or know what you want to do but need some help to get there – this day is for you.

Following a successful day in 2024, we are once more running a Finalist Jumpstart day this year. Returning on Tuesday 3 June this is a day exclusively for undergraduate final-year students who haven’t yet decided what to do after graduation, or who need some support in realising their aspirations.

Whether you’re just not sure what to do next, or know what you want to do but need some help to get there – this day is for you. We will have parallel sessions running to ensure you can make the most of your time and can join the workshops that are most relevant for you.

What's involved

Taking place on campus and open to all undergraduate finalists from any Faculty / School, this interactive day will give you the chance to:

  • hear from the Careers team on potential next steps
  • have round-table discussions with your peers
  • take some time to reflect on your individual goals and actions

The day isn’t about sitting and listening to others. It’s a day where you’ll be taking part, asking questions of yourself and others, and really engaging in a variety of activities designed to boost your future.

In the run up to the event we’ll be giving you tips and resources to help you make the most of it, and in the two weeks afterwards you’ll have the opportunity to schedule a 1:1 with a Careers Consultant if you’d like to.

Why you should apply

This is a day that has been specifically designed to support undergraduate final-year students in planning their next steps after graduation. Attending will give you the opportunity to:

  • spend a day on career-focused thinking in a supportive environment
  • feel more empowered about your next steps
  • receive support and a follow up appointment with a Careers consultant

How to apply

There are limited places available, so we encourage you to apply for a place as soon as possible. We will review all applications and confirm your booking as quickly as we can. In your application, you’ll need to tell us a little bit about your background and why you’d like to attend the day so that we can make sure everyone attending is participating and getting the most out of it.

Apply via MyFuture

Applications via this link are restricted to final year undergraduate students. If you think you meet this criteria and are unable to apply please contact Careers.

The Finalist Jumpstart day will run in-person on campus on Tuesday 3 June 2025. If you apply for a place, please make sure you keep this date free so that you are available to attend if your application is approved.

Further help

Don't forget that this event is available exclusively to undergraduate final-year students. If you’re not an undergraduate final-year student, or you’re in your final year but can’t be on campus on 3 June for the Jumpstart day, there is still plenty of support available.

The best way to get help is to come along to a Careers Centre drop-in, between 10:00 – 16:00, Monday to Friday. Careers will also continue to support you after you graduate and offers remote options for those no longer in Bath.
