If you are graduating this year, have a look at our 2022 Graduates Welcome Booklet.
As a graduate user of Careers & Enterprise, you can access one-to-one support, current vacancies and careers events. You can register as a graduate user on the Student Services Portal. If you graduated less recently or you use a different name to the one under which you were registered as a student, we might need to ask you for proof that you are a Durham graduate, like a copy or photo of your degree certificate.
As soon as your registration has been approved you will receive a password that will enable you to use the system. It is important that you login via the 'Graduate Login & Registration' option within the Student Services Portal as the other login links will not work.
If you are studying a postgraduate course at Durham, you will be automatically registered as a student on the system and should log in via the student login link.
We also produce graduate emails, sent once a term, which are designed to keep you informed about careers information, resources, activities, and news about the graduate jobs market. There will also be a selection of current graduate vacancies that you can view and details about how you can find more graduate vacancies throughout the term. You can subscribe or unsubscribe at any time at the bottom of this page.
Subscribing to the newsletter mailing list should generate an email that you can send to subscribe. If you have any problems with this please follow the guidance at the bottom of this page.
We offer the same level and type of support to Durham graduates as we do to our current students, including face-to-face, email and online appointments. You can also email us with your enquiry, including CV and application form feedback. This support is available throughout the academic year, though in busier periods when demand is high we may not be able to offer an appointment immediately.
If you would like to make an appointment please email us at careers@durham.ac.uk to check availability.
You can find a lot of helpful information and resources for all stages of career planning and job applications in our online resources. See the Quick Links at the top of this page to get started. For a structured approach you can enroll in the Durham Online Career Planning Programme.
As a graduate, you can also access Enterprise support and are eligible for our sponsored SME internships in County Durham under the DICE programme.
There are other careers services that might be able to offer you advice, guidance and resources. The National Careers Service, Careers Wales, Skills Development Scotland and NIDirect Careers offer help to those living in the United Kingdom.
You could also contact a local university careers centre to enquire if they can offer any help or access to careers events.
As well as your career prospects, Durham can help you with building up your personal and professional networks, continuing your learning, and managing your professional development.
Members of the Durham alumni network can also take advantage of social and networking events all over the world as well as a host of other exclusive benefits including continued JSTOR access, future learning opportunities, and local discounts for when you come back to visit Durham. You can sign up for these benefits on the Dunelm society website.
If you would like to share your insight into the professional world with current students, we welcome offers from alumni wishing to take part in careers events. If your employer would like to recruit Durham students and graduates for work experience, placements, or graduate roles, please get in touch with our Employer Services Team.
Fifteen months after graduating you will be contacted by email or phone to ask you to complete the Graduate Outcomes survey. This is a national survey capturing the activities and perspectives of graduates. Please complete it, as the responses to this survey will be crucial in allowing current and future students to make informed choices about what they can do with their degree. It also helps us to evaluate our courses. Find out more on the Graduate Outcomes website.
