The Forum, Streatham Campus

The STEM Careers Fair, sponsored by Newton, is this year taking place in The Forum. Exhibitors are to be announced at a later date. We will be welcoming a range of STEM-focused companies, representing a variety of sectors, with exhibitors promoting their graduate vacancies, internships, placements and postgraduate courses. It provides the ideal opportunity to meet and speak informally with recruiters about the opportunities available to you. 

All University of Exeter students are welcome, regardless of your year of study, subject or campus. Our fair is also open to our graduates.

We will also be running our Careers and Placement Fair - sponsored by Hazlewoods on Tuesday 21 October 2025. 

If you are interested in a career in the legal sector, then make sure you attend our Law Careers Fair - sponsored by Michelmores LLP on Wednesday 19 November 2025.
