Summer Recruitment Fair 2025
Date to be confirmed
University of Exeter Forum, Streatham Campus
In May 2025 we will be hosting our annual Summer Recruitment Fair. Our final recruitment fair of the academic year welcomes companies from a range of sectors, offering opportunities such as casual, part-time and summer work, internships, placements, graduate roles and postgraduate study. 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.
If you are a recruiter wishing to exhibit at this fair, please visit our employer page.
How to attend the Fair
To attend the fair, there is no need to book. You can just turn up on the day!
We always recommend checking in advance to see who is attending the event. The list of exhibitors attending will be available to view on Handshake closer to the date of the fair.
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 in Handshake during the fair, to see where everyone is situated.
If you have never used Handshake before, you will need to log in. To log in and complete your profile, please visit https://exeter.joinhandshake.co.uk
If you haven't activated your account yet, when prompted select the 'single sign-on' option and follow the on-screen instructions.
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!
Prepare for the Fair
You can find resources on Career Zone to help you make the most of the event, such as this SWAY page on preparing for the fair. You can also book Career Zone workshops on other aspects of career preparation, such as networking, by visiting the events page on Handshake.
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.
