Global careers and networks for life
Studying at Oxford can open up opportunities, both personal and professional, leading to interesting careers or further study options when you finish.
Whilst studying, you can access opportunities to build your skills, get work experience or develop entrepreneurial ideas.
Our Careers Service can offer you tailored support with your career goals, from applying for internships while at university to applying for graduate jobs.
All Oxford alumni can access the Careers Service's vacancies board, attend University careers fairs and most other Careers events, sign up for the termly Alumni Careers Newsletter, and access our vast online resources.
Recent alumni can also book one-to-one careers advice appointments outside term-time, within two years of their course-end date.
If you would like to stay on in the UK to start work after your studies, for example through the Graduate Route visa scheme, the University's Student Immigration team can provide guidance to you.
Oxford’s students are international which means so are its alumni! Our alumni number nearly 400,000 and as an Oxford graduate you will become a member of this global network for life.
Oxford’s graduates can be found in prominent positions across politics, activism, business, academia and the creative arts and many other fields. You can find listings of inspiring Oxford alumni on our website and read stories from our global alumni as they discuss the impact Oxford had on them, their future plans and careers.
Oxford has approximately 170 regional, identity and interest based alumni groups.
You can view a map of the regional alumni groups around the world to help you find groups near you to join after graduating. There is also a list of special interest/identity groups, such as the Oxford Climate Alumni Network and the Oxford Pride Alumni Network. The groups are a fantastic resource as they can help you network with likeminded people, find new opportunities and socialise. You are welcome to join as many as you like.
You will also be able to stay connected to Oxford through your college alumni office, the University Alumni Office or online via our website.
Our 2026 undergraduate Open Days will be held on 1 and 2 July and 18 September.
More information will be available on our website from early 2026.
