AI Literacy

Build AI literacy for early career success

Explore how AI is changing the world of work, and how you can use it responsibly in your career.

This two-week course explores how AI is reshaping graduate roles and provides hands-on experience with generative AI tools. You’ll practise basic prompt-writing skills and learn to use AI confidently to explore career pathways and plan your next steps, developing practical skills to use these tools effectively and ethically.

Understand AI and the future of work

Explore how AI and automation are changing job roles, skills expectations, and career pathways across sectors. You’ll examine real examples of how graduates and employers use AI in everyday work, from research and writing to analysis and idea generation.

You’ll reflect on your own interests and consider where AI might support, rather than replace, your future contributions.

Learn generative AI tools and prompt-writing basics

Gain hands-on experience with generative AI tools that can support study, applications, and early career tasks. You’ll practise writing clear, structured prompts and see how small changes in wording affect outputs.

You’ll build safe, thoughtful habits for using AI as a helper rather than a shortcut.

Explore AI for job simulations and career planning

Engage in practical exercises using AI to simulate aspects of real roles, like drafting emails, brainstorming ideas, or exploring job descriptions. You’ll learn how AI can help you connect extracurricular activities and part-time work to future goals.

You’ll understand the limits and risks of AI, including when to rely on your own judgement and when to treat outputs with caution.
