Offer holders
The Careers Service offers you support throughout your time at Imperial College London from day one of studies through to three years after you graduate. Our team offers support to all Imperial students with the exception of those studying within the Business School who have access to Business School Careers. Our team can help you to explore career options, formulate a career plan that’s suitable for you (even if you have no idea what you want to do), and help you to find and apply for opportunities. We also run a series of events for you to meet, network, and learn from employers and alumni across different sectors and industries including further academic research and PhD study.
Access to the Careers Service
You will have full access to the Careers Service from the first day of your degree programme when you officially commence studies. At this time you will then be able to book onto events, one to one appointments, and search for job vacancies and opportunities through JobsLive. You cannot access our services or events before this time, but we've compiled some links below to help you to explore our resources and start planning your career.
