Meet Employers in Life Sciences (February 2026)

The details below refer to our 2025 event which has already taken place. Stay tuned for updates on our 2026 event.

What is the Meet Employers in Life Sciences event?

The event aims to highlight a range of opportunities and types of organisation that come under the Life Sciences banner.

We encourage informal conversations allowing you to gain a better understanding of some of the options open to you and what kind of factors you might want to consider in your career search. 

This event is open to students from all science disciplines and all year groups who are interested in a career in Life Sciences. 

Organisations will have live roles or be planning to recruit in 2026 and could be offering;

  • Graduate positions
  • Paid summer work
  • Early year opportunities. 

The event will begin with an introduction from Careers Service staff followed by brief introductions from each of the organisations in attendance. 

These representatives will then spread around the room and you have the opportunity to circulate and talk to them to find out more.
