Careers support
Appointments
International students can benefit from 1:1 support from Advisers through our range of appointments. We can help you with your career plans, job search strategy and anything else career-related. Our Advisers can also give you feedback on applications for the UK job market.
Please note that we cannot give visa advice or give you a list of companies who will sponsor visas.

More help from the University
The Careers Service is the main provider of help with your career plans, but here are some other support services that provide other relevant help and support:
Immigration and visa advice
Staff at the Careers Service are not trained to give immigration advice. To discuss any visa/immigration issues, contact the Student Immigration Advisers.
English language support
The Careers Service can help you with your CVs and applications, but can’t proofread and correct your documents.
You may be able to access help from the Academic Skills Centre (ASC). One-to-one tutorials are available free of charge from the ASC for current students. These can be used for checking documents such as your CV or covering letter. See the ASC website for further details.

Volunteering is an excellent way to make friends, develop skills and experience, and support good causes. The Volunteering Office can support you in deciding what to do and finding volunteer opportunities.
