Virtual Careers Fair

What is the Virtual Careers Fair? 

This year we're hosting our annual careers fair virtually, available through the Careers Fair Plus app, which will offer many of the benefits of our previous physical fairs, all from the comfort of your own home. The Virtual Careers Fair is a great opportunity to talk to top recruiters, explore your options and kickstart your graduate career.

The fair is not just for those looking for graduate roles. If you're not in your final year, you can make the most of the event with information on internships, part-time roles and more available. Don't miss out, download the app!

The Virtual Careers Fair will run on Wednesday 9 November 12.00 - 5.30pm.
