Work with our students and graduates
When you work with our students and graduates, you'll get direct support from the University. Our Careers and Employability Service has a team of Graduate Recruitment Consultants to guide you through the recruitment process, and an online platform where you can advertise part-time jobs. You can also contact our placement officers to find placement students eager to apply their studies to the workplace.
As well as bringing new skills to your business, working with our students and graduates will also raise your profile among our current students as a proactive graduate employer.
