Looking for your ideal graduate job?

Looking for your ideal graduate job?

You can access support from the Careers and Employment Service for three years after graduation. This includes access to JobsOnline on NU TARGETconnect, sign up to find vacancies and graduate internships. Thousands of jobs are advertised every year across a wide range of sectors and once you sign up you can set your preferences to receive email alerts of your chosen sector vacancies.

Employers are actively targeting Northumbria graduates through JobsOnline and many also come onto campus to meet students and graduates.  If you’re in the region, meeting employers on campus can give you an insight into an organisation and their recruitment process and provides an advantage when making an application.
