Careers Fairs - Employer Information

The Careers Service at Oxford University organises careers fairs throughout the year with the aim of connecting Oxford students, researchers and graduates with recruiters. The fairs can take place either online or in person in Oxford.

At our career fairs, recruiters are invited to inform students about their organisations, the graduate roles and training available, and explain the recruitment process. Senior managers and business leaders can provide a wider perspective on the organisation and graduate career trajectories.

Oxford University Careers Fair: The fair for all sectors    

 Thursday, 6 October 2022. Exhibitors from 11:00-15:00 

  Examination Schools, University of Oxford, 75-81 High St, OX1 4BG

The Oxford University Careers Fair is designed to present students with a range of graduate opportunities, across a variety of sectors, and to highlight the diverse roles available. This is our only fair with a broad non-sector specific appeal and so we are keen to attract employers from a variety of sectors ranging from retail and manufacturing, the creative arts and communications, to non-profits and teaching, covering both national and local businesses, as well as professional organisations.

The fair falls at the beginning of our Autumn term, when undergraduate and postgraduate students are highly motivated in planning their careers and looking for opportunities. This is a key time to engage with them, before the full rigours of the term take over and when they are very receptive to broadening their horizons by hearing about your varied roles. This fair is therefore an ideal opportunity for you to raise awareness of your organisation and discuss your opportunities with Oxford University students.
