We want you to achieve your goals

We want to make sure you have the best chances of success as a graduate, that’s why our Centre for Careers and Opportunities is one of the most active careers services in the UK.

The JobZone

The JobZone is the place to go if you’re looking for a job, be it part – time, casual or a permanent graduate position. The JobZone advertises vocation jobs and permanent graduate positions worldwide. The internet access and the team of specialist staff provide a great service for job hunters.

Work Experience

Work experience is now an important factor for employers who want to recruit. Here at Bangor we provide you with advice and information on a wide range of term time and vocation based work experience opportunities. We also have a highly regarded Go Wales Work Placement that offers you paid work experience.

Peer Guiding and Voluntary work

Each year over 1500 students at Bangor take part in various voluntary schemes including several school-based schemes. These are an excellent way to develop sought-after skills as well as having fun and contributing to the local community.

We also run a Peer Guide Scheme where second and third year students are trained to support new students when they arrive at Bangor.

Virtual Careers Service

Some times students don’t have time to come and see one of our trained careers advisers so we’ve created a ‘virtual careers service’ that offer 24 hour access to career and employment advice through the University’s computer network. It also carries on-line modules and links to worldwide employment and work experience opportunities.

Hobsons Graduate Employment & Training Site (GET)

You can also search for your perfect graduate job or graduate opportunity by searching for a graduate employer, current vacancy, work experience placement or professional training through the Hobsons Graduate Employment & Training Site.
