BU recruitment services:
As well as organising Careers Fairs, BU has a free to use online jobs portal for employers , which gains more than 200,000 views each year.
Jobs can be added throughout the year, for part-time work, placements and graduate level vacancies, either local or nationwide. Key times to promote to students looking to start work June/July are during the Autumn term and again February-May.
Dorset based SMEs might also be interested in our match-funded internships, to employ final year and Masters students for 4-8 weeks.
