Employer events
Throughout the year, we run and promote a large number of events, supporting our students to explore opportunities and network with employers, whilst providing a first class service to our employer partners looking to recruit talented º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ students and graduates. Find out below how you can promote your organisation.
Careers fairs
º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ has been consistently ranked a top ten university from 2017-2024 and has an impressive pool of diverse high calibre students, graduates and postgraduates.
We are proud to host some of the country’s largest University careers fairs, attracting thousands of students each day, located in one central location on campus and with easy access from London, the Midlands and beyond.
These events offer great opportunities to engage directly with our talented students in an informal environment and raise your employer brand on campus at key times in the recruitment calendar. Our students are keen to secure work opportunities, so whether you are seeking excellent candidates for a placement position, internship, or graduate job, get involved and you can benefit from access to a motivated pool of potential recruits.
Visit our careers fair website for more information.
“It was great being part of the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Careers Fair. The event was very well attended by students, and we had many great conversations about future Nestlé careers. The level of engagement was inspiring, and we left after the second day feeling energised and optimistic that we were able to showcase our amazing opportunities to the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ students.” Nestlé
Target emails
Target emails provide employers with the opportunity to send information detailing vacancies and graduate recruitment initiatives directly to our students, via their University email account.
We can target students by School – one or more – and by year group. Prices vary depending on your selection, so please contact us and we can provide a quote.
Please note, Target Emails cannot be sent during exam season or out of term times.
Employer events
Hosting you own employer event, or having a presence on-campus, allows you to introduce your company to proactive students who are interested in learning more about your organisation, the opportunities on offer and becoming your future talent!
At º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, we understand the importance of facilitating engagement with our students. We can partner with you to understand your aims and needs, devise an impactful event, and give guidance on its promotion and organisation. Our experienced team have supported numerous employers to increase engagement through a vast array of interactive activities.
As well as our careers fairs, we organise career ‘seasons’ – known as Careers Fest – in both Autumn and Spring designed to give you the opportunity to run or join employer activities and interact directly with our students. These are set periods within the academic terms and enable employers to get involved in events such as drop-in attractions in high footfall areas, employability skills training sessions, mock assessment or interview days, sector specific insight events, sponsorship and presentations.
There are always new innovative ways to create a presence and we embrace the opportunity to develop bespoke events specifically designed for your needs. Just get in touch and we will be delighted to explore ideas.
Brand Awareness events
These are one of our most popular types of event at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ. They are a great opportunity to meet with high numbers of students on an individual basis in an informal setting.
These activities are particularly useful for companies wishing to raise their profile as a recruiter amongst a wider student body. Brand Awareness activities are held in high footfall areas, where you will be provided with a space for your materials and promotional activities.
Up-skilling presentations
Presentations are a great opportunity to introduce students to your company and for you to up-skill students to receive better quality applications.
We recommend giving a 15-minute introduction about your organisation, a 20-minute upskilling session, followed by a Q&A and networking to finish the event.
