When to Apply for Jobs
Graduate recruitment in the UK is year-round activity. However, the traditional
cycle for recruitment of graduates takes place during the first semester. During
this period a large number of employers recruit students to start in the following
year. If you need more information on where to look for information, call in
for a discussion with a Careers Adviser.
If you intend studying or working in Scotland after graduation, you will find
the online web based seminar developed by AGCAS Scotland a useful place to start
your search.
