The Careers and Enterprise team connects thousands of Queen Mary students each year with graduate and early careers recruiters. Taking part in a Queen Mary event can boost your brand recognition, advertise your vacancies and shape your workforce for the future.
Throughout the year, we will be running a variety of Careers Fairs, Workshops, Panels, and Inclusion Events. For 2023/24, events with multiple employers will be predominantly held in person, as well as welcoming employers onto campus for workshops and promotional stands.
Please contact careers-events@qmul.ac.uk if you would like to arrange a discussion with our Employer Engagement team to enhance your Queen Mary student engagement strategy for the academic year.
