What next?

If you are nearing the end of your degree, you will need to begin thinking about what career opportunities lie out there. A list of various careers can be viewed to give you a starting point.

Graduate employment is one way to enter the work force upon completion of your degree. Most organisations' application periods generally open around March and the process can last up to 5-6 months. Deakin's Jobshop allows students to view employment opportunities as well as graduate opportunities.

Further information can be found on Deakin's Careers information website.

Honours is a fourth year program which is designed for students to research and learn further in order to enhance their preparation for professional employment. While Honours can be hard work, most students generally find studying Honours both rewarding and enjoyable whilst boosting their chances of securing a good career in the industry by being placed above the "just a degree" group.

It also shows prospective employers that you are willing to continue to innovate and learn through research and apply these principles to their organisation.
