Hire an intern or placement year student

You could get funding to recruit a student or graduate through one of our internship schemes. This funding is available to a range of organisations.

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.

Other fairs

We run other fairs for more specific audiences.

Law Fair

The Law Fair takes place on the Sussex campus on 23 October 2019. New for this year, it is aimed at law and non-law students from both the University of Sussex and the University of Brighton.

Part-time Jobs Fair

This takes place on 3 October 2019. If you want to recruit students for local part-time roles, this is a good opportunity to meet potential applicants. Last year, more than 1,000 students attended.

Summer Jobs Fair

If you're offering summer vacation roles, this fair runs every February.

Mini Careers Fair

This is happening on 5 June 2019. If you're still recruiting for graduate-level roles, put yourself in front of students who are about to leave Sussex.

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.
