Making your final year count

With the pending rise in university fees meaning future students could pay up to £30,000 for a degree, it's increasingly important to make your final year count so you come away with a degree grade that can hold its own in the competitive graduate job market. If you want to achieve this you have to focus, approach your work load professionally and take it step by step - don't let it stress you out.

As a final year student, you should already be looking at your next step as a graduate. You don't have to put pressure on yourself just at least start to put in some research and not fear the task of planning for life after university. This could be as simple as some internet research to find out what you can actually do with your degree or attending the careers fairs that are taking place around the country in the next few weeks - find out about your nearest fair and make sure you attend. The Graduate recruitment Bureau will be visiting upcoming careers fairs to tell graduates about our opportunities. Come and visit us at The Guardian London Graduate fair from The Careers Group on the 19th October.
