Careers Festival 2025 – Your Future, In Focus

We’re excited to launch our brand-new Careers Festival 2025 – a future-focused celebration designed to bring everything you need.

Whether you’re just starting to think about your next steps or already applying for opportunities, this three-week festival is packed with events, workshops, and chances to meet employers – all tailored to support you, wherever you are in your graduate journey.

Graduated? You’re still invited.

Just because you’ve finished your degree doesn’t mean you’ve lost access. You can still join us on campus and online for loads of useful sessions. We know everyone’s journey looks different, that’s why our tagline is #yourfutureyourway. So whether you’re exploring, planning, applying, or already on your way, there’s something here for you.
