The Careers Service
The University's award-winning Careers Service offers one-to-one career support to Newcastle graduates, for up to three years after leaving the University.
Those looking to develop a business idea may also access our business start-up resources for an indefinite period after graduation. To find out about the help and support you can receive from the Careers Service as a graduate, please see the eligibility page and register your details.
Support from the Careers Service includes:
Graduate Connections
Looking for information on a particular profession, sector or organisation? Then take advantage of your continued access to Graduate Connections, our online database of alumni who have submitted their careers profiles and contact details for you to access. Please note that you will need to log in to view profiles off campus.
Graduate Apprentices
Our Graduate Apprentices scheme offers Newcastle University graduates of the last three years the opportunity to undertake a 12 or 24 week work experience placement within a North East business. Placements offer an attractive graduate level starting salary, encompass a variety of sectors and have the potential to lead into a permanent role. For more information please visit the Graduate Apprentices website. Alternatively you can search for available placements by visiting our online vacancies page, selecting 'Graduate vacancies only' and checking the 'North East' search option.
Careers advice and guidance
Newcastle University Careers Service now offers information, guidance and advice to all alumni who have graduated within the last three years. To find out what's on offer, you can register online.
Business start-up advice
The Careers Service has two professional business advisers, Judith and Lee, who are available to work with you when it suits you. We have extended the availability of our business advisers to ensure that you get all of the support you need in taking your idea forward. Graduates may also access our business start-up resources for an indefinite period following graduation.
