UCL Careers Fairs 2016: your chance to meet potential employers

28 September 2016

The UCL Careers fairs are back this autumn - with five sectors, eight evenings, and over 250 employers.

UCL Careers Fairs 2016: your chance to meet future employers Each fair is specific to a top industry, with several running over two nights to help you meet as many potential employers as possible.

It's an opportunity to speak to managers and recent graduates to find out about jobs you may be interested in, hiring processes and current opportunities, as well as a chance to ask questions important to you.

A broad range of employers attend our fairs, from international organisations to small and medium sized businesses- don't miss out on these opportunities to network with a variety of employers!

Make the most of your time at our Careers Fairs by doing some research beforehand on the employers who will be attending! You can download floorplans about each fair from Friday 30 September, from the UCL Careers website.

All of the fairs will be held from 5:30pm to 8pm in the North & South Cloisters, Wilkins Building. Don't forget to bring your UCL ID - we are unable to check your student status at the fair itself, so we can only let you in with an ID!

UCL Careers will also be running a number of lunchtime information sessions to help prepare you for the fairs. Find out more and register online.
