How to attend the Fair
To attend the fair, there is no need to book. You can just turn up on the day!
Quiet Half Hour: 12:30 - 13:00 will be run as a quiet session to enable students and staff with additional needs to more easily access the fair experience. To attend the quiet half hour, you will need to book a space here. During this time, sound is kept to a minimum and we request that those who do not need additional support avoid attending during this time to minimise crowding.
We always recommend checking in advance to see who is attending the event. You can view the exhibitors attending on our Handshake listing.

Penryn students
If you are based on the Penryn campus and would like to attend the fair, you can reserve a space on one of our coaches, bringing Penryn students to Exeter's Streatham campus for the day. Make sure to book on to the Handshake event to reserve your space on the coach and follow the instructions to secure your space. If the coach is full, you will be added to the waitlist.

Using Handshake before and during the Fair
You will be able to look through the list of exhibitors in advance through the Handshake listing for this careers fair. You will also be able to access the floorplan on Handshake during the fair, to see where everyone is situated.
If you have never used Handshake before you will need to log in. Students and alumni should have, or will shortly receive, emails about completing your preloaded profile, letting you know how to activate your account, enhancing your profile, and getting the most out of the fairs.
To log in and complete your profile please visit https://exeter.joinhandshake.co.uk

This is NOT a virtual fair - you will not need to book specific sessions to see specific employers, you don't even have to register to come if you don't want to (unless you want to attend the quiet session).

Photography
Please note that photographs will be taken at this event for marketing and training purposes. We intend to use these images, where appropriate, in our promotional material to tell others about the benefits of the University. This may take the form of entries on the University's website, in emails and printed and digital media, to highlight to other students, prospective students, employers, staff and other stakeholders of the activities organised by the Employer Engagement and Student Employment Team.
