Getting you in front of employers

It's important that you have the opportunity during your studies to meet with employers, from small local firms to international corporations.

We welcome employers onto campus throughout the academic year, giving you the chance to discuss vacancies and placement opportunities. We also hold a large careers fair once a year while employers attend lectures and industry-based conferences for our students.
