The UL Autumn Careers Fair will take place on Thursday, 28th September 2023, in the UL Sports Arena. The Fair will be open to students from 11.30 am to 3.00 pm. 

We will have more than 170 organisations participating in the Fair. There will be large and small companies, local, national, and international companies, across all disciplines. What they have in common is an interest in meeting students who may be potential employees in 2024. 

These Fairs will enable organisations to showcase graduate opportunities and summer internships to students in the following disciplines:

  • Business Students (Accounting, Tax, Economics, Financial Math, Insurance, HR and Marketing)
  • ICT Students ( Software and Hardware)
  • Engineering Students (Chemical, Mech, Biomedical, Aero, Civil, Construction, Technology and Design)
  • Science Students (Pharma, Physics, Biochemistry, Environmental, Bioscience and Food Science)
  • AHSS (Law, Communications, Politics and Public Administration, English, Irish, History, International Studies, Psychology, Sociology, Criminology, Technical Communication and Instructional Design, Interdisciplinary Studies, Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics)
  • All students (summer internships)

A registration link will be available in the weeks prior to the fair.

  1. Note the names of any contacts you make on the day.
  2. Think about your strengths and skills and be able to tell an employer what you have to offer.
  3. Consider what questions you want to ask them: What vacancies do they have? What are their requirements? What training opportunities do they provide?
  4. Be sure to contact the less well-known organisations as they often have very challenging opportunities to offer.
