Careers fairs and employer presentations
We offer lots of opportunities for you to meet professionals and employers on campus. We run a number of careers fairs and employer events throughout the year.
If you need support to get going, try student networking in pairs – this can be helpful if you find the process a bit awkward and feel you need some support, but make sure you do meet new people and don’t just rely on your friend for company. Make sure you make a note of who you’ve met and ask for business cards, so you can follow up on your new connections.

Alumni networks
For graduates, our Alumni Association runs a number of networking and reunion events throughout the world, where you can meet fellow alumni and build new contacts who could help with your future career. You can also keep in touch with your peers by joining our active alumni groups on LinkedIn and X.

A number of our courses are accredited by professional bodies. More information can be found on individual course pages.
