Careers fairs 

We host careers fairs throughout the academic year, bringing together dozens of employers on campus. In October we have our Annual Careers Fair held over three days as well as our Part-Time Jobs Fair. November sees our Nursing, Health & Social Care Careers Fair and we hold a further fair in March each year. We also run employer panel events and masterclasses throughout the year. All fairs and events are advertised through the MyCareerHub events page.
