We tend to offer a Discover Careers event in October followed by Careers in Sustainability in November, Careers in Tech & Data in February and Creative & Cultural Careers in March. We also have opportunities for organisations offering vocational opportunities to engage with students in our School of Engineering and School of Law. We also look for employers to support ad-hoc sessions we are running on a variety of other topics. In the past this has included topics such as Careers in Life Sciences, Careers in Patent work, Careers in Consultancy and Practising Virtual Assessment Centres.
