Real life after university
Your next chapter starts before you graduate. Getting the degree is one challenge. Turning it into opportunity is another.
- Why is it so hard to get a graduate job?
- What skills do employers actually want?
- How do tax, student loans and pensions work?
- How do I become useful from day one?
- How do I use AI to get ahead, without becoming dependent on it?
Get ready
Understand the graduate market, work out what you want, and build a CV, LinkedIn and interview skills that reflect you.
Get started
Your first job, your contract, your first payslip, tax, National Insurance and your workplace pension.
Get in control
Student loan repayments, budgeting once you earn, renting, credit and an emergency fund.

Saving and investing, ISAs, growing your income and planning for the long term.
University gives you knowledge. HeadStart helps you put it to work: practical challenges in AI, communication, problem solving and your first 90 days, so you are useful from day one.
