Brandeis Graduate Professional Studies

Brandeis GPS utilizes the Handshake platform to share jobs and career advancement opportunities offered by employers in industries relevant to our programs.

Handshake gives you the chance to connect with students in your field of interest and to join discussions with your peers. Handshake also provides the tools needed for you to discover skill-enhancing resources and new career-building events in your area.

All matriculated GPS students have access to Handshake.* Get started today by logging in with your UNet ID and password on brandeis.joinhandshake.com.

If you have any questions, visit the Handshake Help Center or email us.

*Please note that if you are a non-matriculated student, you will not have access to Handshake until you complete an application and are officially admitted to a program.

Looking for guidance along your professional path? We encourage you to connect directly with your Program Chair for answers to your career and industry-related questions. These individuals are field experts participating in GPS curriculum development, and can provide insight and advice regarding your career goals.

We are proud to be able to provide our students, adjunct faculty, alumni, and partners with a vast array of career and academic advancement opportunities. If you know of a job opening and would like to share it with Brandeis GPS, please email gps@brandeis.edu. Job opportunities will be reviewed by Brandeis GPS prior to their distribution.

We also invite both job seekers and recruiters to follow the Brandeis GPS LinkedIn page, where you can connect with other members of our community, hear about upcoming events and webinars, and keep track of new initiatives.

Pursue Another GPS Degree
