We offer impartial information and advice on what you need to know when choosing a career and searching for a job from occupations, employers, CVs, further study to practice sitting psychometric tests.

Working with employers

Right across the University we work in partnership with employers and build links with industry. This is for everything from helping a business recruit from our pool of talented graduates to supporting graduate internships. We place students in companies on knowledge transfer schemes. And we organise innovative shows and exhibitions as well as careers fairs which employers attend.
