Durham University Summer Careers Fair

Join us for the Durham University Summer Careers Fair on Wednesday, 10 June. Bookings are now open to employers from all sectors, sizes and locations offering graduate roles, internships, placements, or insight opportunities.

Throughout the autumn term, Careers and Enterprise ran three successful sector-specific fairs – STEM, Law, and Business, Finance & Consultancy – each attracting over 1,000 students. These vibrant and engaging afternoons were marked by dynamic exchanges, with employers managing throngs of enthusiastic students, keen to connect, ask questions, and be inspired. The energy and interest shown by attendees highlighted the value of in-person engagement and the appetite for meaningful career conversations.

The Summer Careers Fair will build on previous momentum and is open to employers from all sectors, particularly those whose graduate opportunities fall outside the core sectors typically represented in our autumn fairs or who offer alternative career paths. It is ideal for organisations whose recruitment windows open early and who are offering graduate roles, internships, placements, or insight opportunities in areas such as:

• Creative industries, non-profits, public sector, retail, logistics, IT, and more.

• Employers of all sizes – from regional SMEs to national graduate recruiters.

• Organisations looking to return and continue building their brand with Durham students.

• Employers who missed the autumn sector-specific fairs and wish to engage with a wide student audience.

This Summer Careers Fair provides a valuable opportunity to raise your profile, promote your early careers opportunities, and connect with a diverse and motivated student community in a welcoming and well-supported environment.
