More than 80% of our graduates are in professional work or further study, according to the HESA Graduate Outcomes Survey
At UEA, we know that a university degree is a huge financial and emotional commitment; that’s why we’re committed to supporting our students to achieve good graduate outcomes. Our courses and employability support are built with your career in mind.
Exploring graduate career options
Preparation for the transition from university into the workplace begins long before graduation. Our dedicated careers service, CareerCentral works closely with schools to offer opportunities to explore graduate roles, gain sector insights and develop skills valued by employers.
Our careers events give you the chance to network with employers in different industries and learn from the experiences of UEA alumni.
Our placement and internships experts can support you to secure opportunities to try out particular jobs or fields while gaining skills and experience for your CV.
And the Student Enterprise team offers specialist advice and guidance for those interested in starting their own business.
Plus, the UEA Mentoring Programme connects you with industry professionals who provide advice, guidance and insider knowledge.
Finding and applying for graduate roles
We work with local, national and international organisations and businesses - from SMEs to the top graduate employers - so our students and graduates can access a wide range of opportunities.
CareerCentral’s online jobs board advertises thousands of vacancies throughout the year, including graduate schemes, internships and jobs. You can even sign up for job alerts so you’ll never miss an exciting new opportunity.
GradFair, our graduate jobs fair, brings employers to the UEA campus each Spring to meet our final year students and promote their live vacancies.
Students and recent graduates can access free careers guidance appointments with our professional advisers, including help with finding and applying for graduate jobs, CV and application feedback and mock interviews.
CareerCentral also offers a suite of online resources, with information and advice on everything from finding employers and applying for jobs, to transitioning into the workplace and working overseas.
Careers support for graduates
Access to UEA’s careers support doesn’t stop at graduation. All of CareerCentral’s support and information is available to you for up to three years after you leave UEA, all accessed through our dedicated graduate portal GradCentral (login required).
