How can the Careers and Employability Centre help me?

We offer one-to-one advice and a wide range of events to help you explore your options after graduation. Here is a sample of what we offer:

Get advice: You can get one-to-one advice throughout the year (and up to 3 years after graduation). We offer a range of bookable and drop-in appointments during the day.
Careers Fair: Our annual Careers Fair, in association with the University of Brighton, attracts over 100 employers and 3,000 visitors. Speak directly to organisations recruiting for graduate jobs and schemes.
Events: We run a full programme of events throughout the year. Many employers visit campus to recruit graduates and give inside application tips on their schemes and jobs.
