International Student Events

This semester, there are a variety of events designed to support international students at every stage of the career journey.

Throughout the semester, we will be running online and in person drop ins for you to ask any questions you have about international student careers. There'll also be introductory sessions to the careers team, as well as our Step Ahead programme to help you navigate the UK job market. Read below for details and sign up.

International Students Careers Online Drop-ins

These timeslots are to offer time for international students to drop-in to the virtual meeting and ask quick questions about our support, working in the UK or abroad as an international student, or career-related questions. Questions will be answered as first come, first served. Please mark these dates and links in your diary so you have the joining link and calendar reminder, as this event is not bookable through this portal. Simply save the information below and arrive with your question/s and your student number during the slot. This is for QMUL students and recent graduates only.
