Careers Weeks and Fairs

Our sector-focused Careers Weeks host a curated calendar of targeted recruitment activity during our Michaelmas and Epiphany terms. They offer plenty of opportunities to promote your company to a diverse range of exceptional students, across a mix of in-person and virtual events. Benefits include:

  • Raising awareness of your organisation
  • Sharing valuable hints and tips for your application processes, allowing you to recruit talented students more easily
  • Engaging in informal conversations with students to build relationships early
  • Helping students gain a clearer understanding of your company culture and industry
  • Sharing details of any vacancies, graduate positions, placements or internships you may be recruiting to

If you would like to host your own recruitment event outside of one of the Careers Weeks, please see Other Recruitment Events.

We encourage you to read Durham University's Careers Events Terms and Conditions before reaching out to hold an event with us.
