Careers and Employability resources

Use our resources to look for graduate employment, work experience or volunteering opportunities, find out about recruitment and networking events, and find out about what’s happening in the graduate labour market.

Careers Connect

Abstract image with the words: Careers Connect

Access Careers Connect, your careers hub with your university login to search for internships, placements, volunteering placements, graduate jobs and one-to-one appointments with a member of the team.

Register at Careers Connect for one-to-one appointments, jobs, placements, and more

How to search for jobs

From the opportunities tab

  • Search ‘graduate job’ for graduate-level jobs, graduate schemes, internships and national and international volunteering.
  • Search ‘work experience’ for gap year opportunities, summer/other vacation jobs, shorter industrial placements (less than 12 months). For 12 month sandwich placements contact your placements team.
  • Search ‘voluntary placement’ or go direct to the Placements tab for Active Student volunteering opportunities.
  • Search ‘casual/part-time’ for student jobs on campus, Student Ambassador work, paid work in your local area and one-off project based roles.

How to get the most from the vacancy service 

  • Set up email alerts to keep you informed when relevant opportunities are advertised.
  • Keep your search preferences up to date to make sure you get alerts on jobs you're interested in.
  • Book one-to-one appointments with our Careers and Employability team
  • Don’t filter out jobs that may give you the skills you need. Any part-time work will give you valuable skills and experience, whatever your career goals.
  • Don’t miss out on graduate scheme deadlines. Recruitment begins in June of your penultimate year for schemes starting the following summer. Peak recruitment season is September to December.
