Kick-start your future at the Graduate Careers and Placements Fair!

This flagship event is your chance to connect with top employers offering graduate schemes, placements, and internships across a wide range of sectors.

Whatever year of study you’re in, you’ll find valuable opportunities to boost your career. Meet recruiters face-to-face, ask questions, and gain insights into what employers are looking for.

With roles available for all degree backgrounds, it’s the perfect time to explore your options and plan your next steps.

You’ll have the chance to network with professionals from over 60 employers, ask about graduate roles, placement and internship opportunities, and get tips on recruitment processes.

This event is open to all University of Derby students and recent graduates. There will be a ‘quiet hour’ at the fair for anyone who wants to attend the event in a less busy environment. If you would like to attend this session, 10-11am, please book your place here.

Prepare for the Fair

To get the most out of the fair, it's best to do some preparation. Our Career Hub is open Monday – Friday, 10am – 4pm, and will be open during the fair too, where you can get advice and support from the Careers and Employment Service on how to approach employers, questions you may want to ask and tips for applying to vacancies.

Watch our recorded webinar to find out what you can expect from a careers fair and what to do when you're there. We discuss how to make a good first impression, the types of questions to ask employers and the range of opportunities you can explore.

Come along, get inspired and build your network!
