Networking events for students and industry

Connect your business to students at one of our networking events.

We organise several student-industry networking events through the year.

Each event has a theme or is sector-scpecific. This ensures that businesses and students at the event know there is a shared interest.

The events are usually open to all students from STEM degrees. They are a great way for students to explore "what's next?" And businesses meet and begin to build relationships with their employees and customers of the future. 

We publish information and sign-up details for all networking events in July. If you would like to find out more or discover the best event for you, please do get in touch.

Access

Access is a networking event for:

  • Construction
  • Infrastructure
  • Built Environment
  • Environmental Engineering.

For the first two hours, the event is only for second year civil engineering students. The event begins like "speed dating", with groups of students rotating around exhibitors. This allows them to gain initial insight to every exhibitor.

The event then moves to an open floor, trade show format. Students return to the exhibitors they are most interested in.

Although focussed on civil engineering, the event is open to all students in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering after the speed dating component.

The next event is: Monday 21st of October 2024

Exhibitors should be interested in students studying:

  • Civil Engineering
