Careers Fairs - Employer Information

The Careers Service at Oxford University organises careers fairs throughout the year with the aim of connecting Oxford students, researchers and graduates with recruiters. 

At our career fairs, recruiters are invited to inform students about their organisations, the graduate roles and training available, and explain the recruitment process. Senior managers and business leaders can provide a wider perspective on the organisation and graduate career trajectories.
