Recruit an intern or access student consultants

Ask us for funding to wage a student intern or a team of student consultants to work on a project for your organisation.

Find out how to access student interns and consultants.

Hire a placement year student

All our undergraduate students can do a placement year as part of their degree, so you can employ a student from any area of study.

Attend a careers fair

Our main Careers Fair will be held in November 2022. Full details will be available here soon.

It is aimed at organisations with graduate-level roles, internships or placements.

The fair is run with the University of Brighton, meaning you get to meet students and graduates from both universities.

Other fairs

We also run a series of smaller fairs on campus throughout the year.

Full details will be available soon, but in the meantime, register your interest by emailing us at careersevents@sussex.ac.uk.

Meet our students at an employer event

We can also arrange recruitment and employability events such as career talks, drop-in sessions and recruitment presentations. We especially welcome Sussex alumni to give talks as part of our 'Make it Happen!' programme. At present all our events are being held virtually.
