The Careers Service hosts a number of careers expos throughout the year. These events, which cover a wide range of sectors, offer students the opportunity to meet and network with top local and global organisations, whilst offering recruiters the opportunity to meet a large number of potential candidates in an instant. Attending a careers expo is an ideal opportunity to build brand recognition on campus and promote the opportunities you have on offer.
Internship and Job Expo – 14 & 15 April 2026
As the first annual Career Expo of the year, the Internship and Job Expo provides a unique platform for employers to strengthen their brand, showcase their diverse internship and bursary programmes with promising students, and build a high-quality talent pipeline. To accommodate the high employer demand for access to this event, this expo now runs over 2 days. The Internship and Job Expo is known to be immensely popular amongst students seeking to carve out their professional paths, and as a result, exhibition booths sell out swiftly. Employers are encouraged to act promptly to secure their booths, ensuring they connect with top talent and make a lasting impact on the future workforce.
