The Careers' purpose is to help applicants and employers to make the best, most informed decisions to their mutual benefit. Part of this involves preparing students to apply for and to secure employment – whether it is internship/work experience or full-time permanent posts.

Our objectives are to:

• deliver services online and in person at the Careers building, in Colleges, Departments, and Faculties;
• proactively network with all stakeholders;
• provide highly valued skills and experiences to support employability;
• enable recruiters to engage easily with the best job seekers (be they undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers or alumni) be nimble and responsive to embrace continual change.
