Your next steps after graduation depend on what you want to do next: apply for employment, explore further study or develop a particular skill. Begin with a practical record of your completed study and the evidence you can provide. A degree does not automatically determine an employer’s decision or another institution’s entry requirements.
Organise your academic records
Keep your final award information, transcript and relevant course documents in an organised personal folder. Check names, dates and programme details when you receive documents. If something requires clarification, use the University’s established route rather than altering an issued record yourself.
INTIAU’s degree verification page provides the existing academic-record verification route. Use the contact page for questions about which University channel handles a particular records request. Share documents only through the intended service and only when needed for that request.
Describe your study clearly
List projects, research tasks, presentations or practical activities you actually completed. For each one, explain what you did, the methods used and the result you can discuss. Keep the description proportionate to your contribution, especially where a project involved a team.
The official Europass CV guidance recommends presenting relevant skills and qualifications clearly for the opportunity being pursued. You can apply that principle to your own CV without adopting a particular format. This resource does not guarantee acceptance of a qualification or access to employment.
Compare your next-step requirements
For employment, read the vacancy’s actual criteria and check any occupational registration requirements with the responsible authority. For further study, obtain the intended institution’s current entry and document requirements. Treat these as separate decisions; acceptance for one purpose does not establish acceptance for another.
The master’s degree overview can frame questions about postgraduate study. The course search portal is the starting point for an enquiry about a specific INTIAU course. Confirm programme availability and eligibility directly instead of inferring them from your completed qualification alone.
Make an action list
Choose one immediate goal and record its next three actions. These might be checking an application deadline, preparing a project example or requesting a required document. Keep a date and source beside each confirmed requirement so that outdated information is easier to identify.
If you want to develop a defined skill before making your next application, explore the workshop directory and ask about the relevant activity’s requirements. Select learning for a clear purpose rather than assuming that another document alone will meet your goal.
Questions and answers
Does graduation guarantee entry to a postgraduate programme?
No. The receiving institution determines its entry requirements and assesses applications. Check the exact programme, academic period and documents required before preparing an application.
How should I describe a group project on my CV?
Describe the project briefly and distinguish your own responsibilities from the team’s work. Use a concrete example of a method, task or result you can explain accurately.
Should I send my full academic file with every enquiry?
No. Provide only the information requested through the appropriate channel. Begin with a focused question when you need to establish which documents or service are relevant.
How can I choose between further study and a skills activity?
Identify the gap between your current knowledge and your next goal. Compare the learning required, entry conditions and practical commitments of the options before deciding what to pursue.
