Careers Fairs

It's a great opportunity to speak to managers, recruitment personnel and recent graduate hires to find out about current opportunities, get inside information on hiring and selection processes, expand your professional networks as well as being a general chance to ask any other questions you may have.

A broad range of employers attend our fairs, from international organisations to small and medium businesses, so you can really compare what they have to offer.

Preparation

To prepare for Careers Fairs, please read through the range of help sheets and resources recommended on our resource library on effective networking and watch our CareersLab episode on Mastering Online Networking on YouTube.

We would also recommend that you do some initial research on the participating organisations you're interested in before you meet them virtually at the Fair.

For the autumn sector themed fairs, we recommend you read our sheet about the fair you're attending, to better understand job roles, key employers and employment opportunities, sources of sector news and information, and how UCL can help you:

• Management Consultancy
• Life and Health Sciences
• Banking & Finance, & Economics
• Law
• IT & Technology
• Engineering & the Built Environment

We will also run a series of lunchtime talks prior to each fair on effective networking at events as part of our Career Essentials programme which will provide tips and advice on making the most of your visit.

Below you can find the dates and times of our Careers Fairs. Once each fair has been announced, you will be able to book your place two weeks in advance and find a full list of exhibitors for each fair with links to company profiles by logging in to your myUCLCareers account through the links below.

New employers are continually being added to the Careers Fairs so do check the event booking pages on myUCLCareers to view the most up to update list of employers.

If you missed any of our fairs this year, you can still view details of all the exhibitors and details of their opportunities if vacancy deadlines haven't already closed.

Important attendance information for all fairs

To be able to speak to any of the recruiters attending, it is essential that you book a place on your myUCLCareers account in advance.

Guidelines for making the most of the event

• Each recruiter attending will have their own In Person (On Campus) or 'virtual stand' depending on the day.
• Before the event we encourage you to look through the recruiter profiles provided below on their 'stand' to find out more about them and the current opportunities they have available and decide who you'd like to speak to on the day
• As a Virtual Fair starts, those registered to attend will be able to see a clickable 'Virtual stand' link on each of the stands shown below to access a virtual meeting space with that particular recruiter
• Each recruiter will host their own 'meeting space', different online chat platforms may be used, (Zoom, Microsoft Teams etc.), but each employer will provide instructions for joining where needed, (though this will typically just be a web browser, stable internet connection and a device with a camera / mic)
• Each recruiter will also manage how their own meeting space operates so you may find a mix of group chat with other attendees, a queuing system for one-to-one discussion with recruiter reps or chat box style Q&A - please follow each recruiter's lead on this
• You will be able to join / leave as many stands as you like over the duration of the event. Please therefore consider leaving busy stands and coming back to them later after you've tried others as you may then get more quality time with the reps

UCL Careers will also have a stand with members of our team on hand to answer any queries you might have about the event or your job hunting more generally - do pop in and see us.

Important Note: Booking for Virtual events will close 1 hour before the event start time. Anyone who hasn't registered by this time will not be able to join.

UCL graduates are only eligible to make use of UCL Careers events for up to three years after completing a UCL course as detailed on our who can use our services webpage.

We want to make sure that you have every opportunity to attend events run by UCL Careers.
