On Wednesday 26 March we will be holding our annual Life Sciences Research and Employability Fair. The event has been continuously growing with representatives from many different companies, from pharmaceuticals and biotechnology to ecological consultancy and conservation organisations. It is free for companies and CCCU students.

For Students: The fair provides an opportunity for you to meet employers face-to-face, to learn about current vacancies and opportunities available, and to market yourself to potential employers.

For Companies: This event is a great opportunity for employers to showcase your organisation, to meet with staff, students and other company reps, and to promote volunteering, collaborative research opportunities, internships and graduate roles you may be looking to advertise in the coming year and beyond. For company reps we will have a Networking Lunch, 12noon - 1pm.
