Our Summer Recruitment Fair is an opportunity for companies from a range of sectors to promote:
- casual, part-time and summer work
- internships/vacation schemes
- year-in-industry placements
- graduate roles
- postgraduate study
A smaller event in comparison to our autumn careers fairs with up to 25 stands, the Summer Recruitment Fair provides an intimate opportunity to meet with approximately 400 current Exeter students.
Students! This page is aimed at employers. Please visit Summer Recruitment Fair.
The event is marketed to Exeter students from all years and disciplines, so you can expect those in the first year through to their final year to attend. Our graduates are also welcome.
Please note: This fair is not suitable for teaching agencies seeking to engage with our PGCE students, those looking to recruit nursing students or those offering volunteering opportunities or unpaid/chargeable internships. Companies offering paid-for services, with the exception of postgraduate courses, are also not permitted.
For practical tips on preparing for, attending, and following up after the fair, including guidance on engaging international students, please read our Employer Guide to Attending Career Fairs.
