Sign up to our weekly newsletter (sent every Thursday) by checking the relevant box on your personal profile on JobsLive. 

Every year we help thousands of our undergraduate and postgraduate students explore, develop, and shape their futures. Our friendly and experienced team will work with you from day one of your studies, to explore options, connect with employers, and navigate the complex job market and multitude of further study options available both in the UK and globally.

With a range of online resources and publications, workshops, presentations, employer events and one to one appointments, we are well equipped to help you explore and reach your career goals. You don’t need to know what you want to do to use our services as your career plans will develop and change over time, but we’d encourage you to use our website and sign up to our newsletter to get regular updates on what’s on.

To help develop your plans, we offer one to one appointments that can be booked via JobsLive but we strongly recommend that you do some work first, and view our relevant webpages including plan your career, jobs and experience, and applications and interviews to help make the most of your time with our team.

In addition, our careers consultants work closely with the academic departments via a Departmental Careers Adviser (DCA) to provide tailored careers education and events. We’re always interested to hear your ideas, opinions, and feedback if you’d like to contact us!
