Law fair
Wednesday 9 October 2024
This fair is aimed at local, regional, national and international organisations recruiting for training contracts, vacation schemes, insight programmes, paralegal positions and Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeships within the legal sector.
The fair will allow employers to engage directly with students on our Law courses and students from other programmes interested in the sector.
Graduate Jobs and Placements Fair
Thursday 10 and Friday 11 October 2024
This two-day fair is aimed at employers from all sectors, and organisations of all sizes recruiting for graduate vacancies, placement years and internships.
Last year our two-day Graduate Jobs & Placements Fair saw an impressive turnout, with over 900 students attending each day from a wide range of departments and faculties, demonstrating that both days offer equal value and opportunity for employers to engage with top talent.
Semester 2
Graduate Jobs Fair
This fair is held annually in May and aimed at employers from all sectors, and organisations of all sizes recruiting for graduate vacancies starting in summer / early autumn, and summer graduate-level internships.
Registrations for this Fair will open in February 2025.
We could have filled our vacancies on the back of today's event so thank you!
