International, Engagement & Careers programme

Our International, Engagement & Careers programme has been designed to give you the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to build a successful future career.

With its own dedicated postgraduate careers team we offer a full range of careers services, which are internationally-focused and reflective of the global locations in which our students want to work. Created to complement the events, workshops and fairs organised by the University’s Careers and Enterprise Centre, our International, Engagement & Careers team will support you through your programme and beyond.

You will be given information about the International, Engagement & Careers programme during your first few weeks at Durham, including access to the Business School’s online Career Development Portal. Our service is designed to give you the opportunity to:

• Develop the essential skills demanded by international recruiters through interactive workshops.
•  Network with businesses and engage with international recruiters in a range of activities, presentations and events.
• Access a huge range of resources, international jobs board, video library and career webinar series.

Individual career opportunities 

Appointments with our Career Consultants give you the opportunity to develop your CV, improve your job search strategy and prepare for interviews. The team also offer practice interviews and assessment exercises to help you with your preparation. 

Connecting with business 

There are many opportunities throughout the year. From engaging with organisations and alumni to further enhance your knowledge and skills, to meeting with a range of recruiters via workshops, presentations and fairs. Working in partnership with the University’s Careers and Enterprise Centre, you can engage with some of the UK’s leading employers as well as international employers using video conferencing technology in the Business School.
