Graduate Jobs and Placement Fair 2025
September 2025 heralded our biggest ever Graduate Jobs and Placement Fair to-date, hosted on campus at Sport Central in the heart of City Campus.
Over 115 employers exhibited from a range of sectors, each offering graduate jobs, placement roles and internship opportunities. We welcomed over 2,100 keen Northumbria students through the doors on the day – the appetite for on campus events remains as strong as ever within our student community!
With excellent feedback on the day and post-event, the fair delivered a quiet half hour to support inclusivity and neurodiversity, welcome packs for students on the day, a VR Zone with employer input and professional LinkedIn headshots for students.
A big thanks to headline sponsors Accenture, Azets, Sage and Ward Hadaway for supporting the event and delivering valuable insights and advice to attending students.
2025 highlights:
“The students we met were nearly all relevant to our offering, and they were all, without exception, enthusiastic, polite and interested to hear our information. It was a pleasure dealing with them! I'm convinced that we will get some excellent, high-quality candidates for the two placements we're hoping to fill next September.” - Sally Taffs, Enigma Interactive
“The students were engaged and curious. It was great to see 1st and 2nd years already eager to find internships/work experience and starting to consider future graduate roles already.” - Becky Watson, Sage
“The students were very interested in our company and the placement opportunities that we offer. Students were polite, well prepared and direct with what type of placement that they were looking for which allowed us talk to each student and recommend a placement that would play well to their strengths and interests.” - Jack Heywood, PPG
