Employer recruitment events

Recruitment events are a great way to network with employers. See who's coming on campus!

We are always confirming new dates for employer events, so keep checking this page to make sure you don't miss out on the employer you want to meet.

If you need to find your way around our campuses, including buildings, rooms and parking, please visit the campus maps webpage.

Please note: These events are a fantastic opportunity to connect with potential employers, learn about career opportunities, and make valuable professional connections.

We kindly ask for your commitment to attend if you have registered. Employers often cater for these events and need accurate attendance numbers to plan effectively. If your plans change and you are unable to attend, please take a moment to unregister.
