Throughout this period, we will be providing an online only service on Mondays and Fridays with the on-campus office open the rest of the week. Please be aware of the following variations to this schedule:

• Tuesday 26 March, Wednesday 27 March, Wednesday 3 April and Thursday 4 April will also be online only service days

From Monday 29 April, the Careers Service will resume regular term-time opening hours: 10.00 – 17.00 on campus and online, Monday to Friday.

The Easter break will also alter the Careers Newsletter schedule. The newsletter will be released on:
