Wherever you are in the world, you can benefit from a varied programme of events and support that continues to help you grow and strengthen your professional skillset.

Careers Centre

As a graduate of the Business School you can access the University of Leeds Careers Centre services. These include one to one drop-in sessions, longer careers guidance appointments and mock interviews, all bookable via the drop-in service (14:00-16:00, Monday to Friday). 

If you can't visit the Careers Centre in person, but would like some advice, you can ask your questions using the e-guidance service. Alternatively, you can contact the Careers Centre on +44 (0) 113 343 5295 or email careerscentre@leeds.ac.uk. 

Class of 2021

Being in final year is tough. On top of exams and deadlines, we know it’s hard to make time for future planning, especially during a pandemic. Visit the Class of 2021 support page on MyCareer, to get access to important resources that should help you feel more confident in taking your next steps.

MyCareer vacancy database

As graduates, you have access to the exclusive MyCareer database of local, national and international job opportunities, as well as many student and graduate internship opportunities. You will need to register for a graduate login. 

Enterprise support - SPARK

The University's business start-up service, SPARK, advises and assists students and alumni who have graduated within the last seven years with their initial business idea to start-up and beyond. Take a look and see how SPARK can help you start your own business with this award-winning service.
