Careers advice and services

Each year we put on a number of careers events to assist both recent and more mature graduates.

These include local courses and workshops are well as online webinars.  Our webinars can be accessed from all over the world and are presented live by a qualified instructor.  You get to type in questions and network with fellow alumni whilst you participate.

In 2012 we ran webinars on negotiating a pay rise, using technology in your career as well as changing careers mid-life.

You can download the e-books from each of these webinars here.

“The webinar was very good. I have covered much of this at various times, but was clear and well-articulated. This was my first experience with this form of webinar and it was well done.”
Chris Swift, BSc(Hon) Biomedical Sciences 2012 

Keep a look out for more careers events in 2013.

Careers service

In addition to a variety of events free one-to-one careers advice and CV checking is offered to all our graduates, regardless of when they graduated, by the alumni career development adviser. Telephone advice can also be given and a CV may be sent by email to be reviewed. To make an appointment  please call 01273 642855. Evening appointments can be made on Tuesdays in term time.

In light of the rapidly changing nature of the world of work and the current economic climate, you should find this service helpful if you are:

  • Seeking a new job
  • Feeling currently underemployed
  • Looking to change career direction
  • Wanting to accelerate career progress.

There is also continued access to Careers Centre resources and you can attend careers and employability-related events that are put on by the university. We also have an extensive database of vacancies from employers looking for Brighton graduates. 

Sign up on the Careers Centre website for access to the vacancy and events service, and to view the extensive and informative careers tips and advice.

What’s more, University of Brighton alumni are entitled to a year’s FREE subscription to Artyfacts, the monthly newsletter for artists and designers published by the Careers Service.
