Graduate career support
We've got your back for the long run.
Your career development at Bradford starts on day one. And it won't stop when you graduate.
We’ve got you covered for five years after you finish your degree with us. You'll have help with everything from perfecting your CV and practising for interviews, to researching roles and starting a business.
The University of Bradford offers support for alumni for five years after they graduate. This feels reassuring, especially with how unpredictable the job market can be.
How do we support our graduates?
After you graduate, we’ll back you with the support, tools and resources to go after the job you want - and get it.

Graduate resources
Help with every aspect of your career development.
We'll point you to resources that can help you, whatever your goals and barriers. Access everything from practice assessment tests to one-to-one sessions with a careers guidance specialist.
Career and Employability Services helped me send off applications for roles after I graduated. They helped me to apply for the role I am currently in, and helped build my interview skills. I would not have been able to get this role so quickly if it hadn’t been for the Career and Employability Services.
