Careers fairs and events
Our careers fairs and events give students the opportunity to connect with alumni and employers, gaining valuable insights into graduate jobs, internships, and placements and helping them discover their future career path.
We are delighted to welcome employers into our iconic Centre for Student Life building at the heart of the university, as well as alternative locations on campus that put you in front of the students you want to meet.
Links to book your space at any of our 2024/2025 Fairs below will be available here soon. However, if you would like to register your interest to receive an email when bookings open, please contact the Employer Engagement team via the contact details at the bottom of this page.
