Welcome to your Careers and Employability team here at the University of Brighton. Many of the team have one-to-one appointments to discuss any and all things careers and employability during your time as a student here. You can find and book those here. 

The rest of the team are on campus, present in all locatons, but based out of the Careers Office in the Cockroft building. You can stop by, any time, you'll likely have the pleasure of meeting Vicky on our front desk, who can assist you from there.
