The information on this page relates to our 2026 event. Full details for 2027 will be available in Spring 2027.

In May 2026 we will be hosting our annual Summer Recruitment Fair. Our final careers fair of the academic year welcomes companies from a range of sectors, offering opportunities such as casual, part-time and summer work, internships, placements, graduate roles and postgraduate study.  It provides the ideal opportunity to meet and speak informally with recruiters about the opportunities available to you. View the exhibitors on My Career Zone.

All University of Exeter students are welcome, regardless of your year of study, subject or campus. Our fair is also open to our graduates.

If you are a recruiter wishing to exhibit at this fair, please visit our employer page.
