Careers fairs

Careers fairs are one of the best ways to find graduate jobs. They give you the opportunity to meet potential employers face-to-face, gain an insight into the labour market, and find out about selection procedures.

Attending a careers fair is worthwhile at any point in your studies. They are a great source of information and a chance to practise your networking skills and make some potentially useful contacts.

The University of Brighton currently runs the following annual careers fairs:

The Brighton Careers Fair

This is our biggest annual event. Over 1,000 students and 50 companies from a wide range of sectors attend every year.

The Teacher Recruitment Fair

This is aimed at final year teaching students and includes representatives from the nearest local authorities who are available to discuss teaching careers opportunities and clarify application procedures.

Virtual Careers Fair

This virtual fair is online only, but it does offer graduating students fantastic access to a wide range of local, regional and national employers.
