Recruit our students and graduates

Essex has a worldwide reputation for top quality teaching and research. Our graduates are:

  • enterprising and prepared for their future
  • creative - applying their understanding to enrich the world
  • globally engaged and ethically aware
  • scholarly and equipped for life-long learning

You can advertise both student and graduate vacancies using our free JobsOnline service or exhibit at careers fairs to meet our students face-to-face.

Internships and work placements

Get some fresh thinking by engaging our students and graduates through internships or work placements.

  • Internships involve students or graduates working on a specific project or simply providing additional resource.
  • Work placements are part of a student's course and inform a piece of assessed academic work.
