Engagement opportunities

Recruitment Events

Recruitment Events provide an opportunity for your engineers and HR people to showcase your company activities to a targeted student audience. They are an opportunity to promote career opportunities and summer internships within your company. You have the choice of breakfast or evening presentations which are held in our state-of-the-art facilities. Dates are available year-round but are particularly effective in the first four weeks of each semester. 

Lunchtime 'Meet & Greet'

Generally a 2 - 3 hour slot. This is your chance to set up a stall in our foyer and talk to students on a drop-by basis to promote your brand and opportunities. 

Internships & Work Experience 

Internships and workplace experiences benefit both students and your organisation. Students also need to complete 800 hours of work throughout their degree programme. Work with us to create a programme that is right for you.
