Wednesday 4 February 2026, 12:30 - 16:00, The Sports Hall, Penryn Campus, Cornwall
The Ecology, Conservation and Environment Fair is open to University of Exeter and Falmouth University students of all years and disciplines.
Here you can meet and talk with employers about placements opportunities, internship programmes, placements, and graduate careers.
The fair will be held in The Sports Hall and we'll be welcoming employers from a range of sectors all of whom are looking to connect with students from a broad range of disciplines, but focusing predominantly on ecology, conservation, environmental and marine science courses. Be sure to save the date!
Please note the Ecology, Conservation and Environment Fair will run from 12:30 until 16:00. The first 30 minutes will be run as a quiet session to enable students with additional needs to more easily access the fair experience. You do not need to register for this quiet session.
We endeavour to make all our events as accessible as possible. If there's more we could do, then please email your thoughts and recommendations to es-penryn@exeter.ac.uk
