Traditionally the largest of our events, the Autumn Careers Fair welcomes local, national and global organisations of all sizes looking to meet prospective industry placement students. Positioned at a key time in your recruitment calendar, this fair is also a great opportunity to target recent and upcoming graduates with your live entry-level vacancies that are closing in the autumn/winter.

This event will attract students from all courses and years, and therefore invites exhibitors looking to promote opportunities that are open to various subjects and cohorts. We encourage you to consider attending our sector-specific fairs should your roles require specialised degree disciplines.

Our final fair of the academic year will bring together students from across the university, and organisations actively seeking to recruit the next generation of NTU graduates.

Attending the fair provides the perfect opportunity for organisations to interact in-person with skilled students who are looking forward to entering the next step of their career journeys. This event can also be used to promote any remaining placement vacancies that you are looking to fill before the summer. We encourage you to consider attending our sector-specific fairs earlier in the academic year should your roles require specialised degree disciplines.
