EAST is the Queen Mary student career journey, and is designed to help you prepare for life after graduation, whether that be work, study, or launching an enterprise.
EAST consists of four stages: Explore career options, Acquire experience, Showcase your skills and experience and Transition towards your next steps. You don’t have to go through the stages in one particular order, and may spend time moving back and forth between the stages while at university.
For example, you might acquire experience before exploring your options, or you might acquire experience for your chosen career but then change your mind and decide to explore your options again. The order isn’t important, the important thing is that you engage with Exploring career options, Acquiring Experience and Showcasing your skills and experience whilst at university.
