Careers Fairs

We have three fairs to suit your recruitment needs:

- For law firms, conversion course providers and professional bodies.
- Adjacent to Edinburgh University's Careers Fair (8-9 October)
Graduate Management & Finance Careers Fair - Friday 11 0ctober 2013, 12noon to 3pm
- For private companies and organisations which run graduate training schemes and which need to recruit a significant number of top quality graduates
- For public sector organisations e.g. the armed forces, NHS, Civil Service and local government
- For professional bodies
- Convenient if you are also attending the careers fair at Edinburgh University (8-9 October)
