University of Cambridge Graduate Schemes & Internships Fair

The Graduate Schemes & Internships Fair at the University of Cambridge is a cornerstone event of the university’s careers programme, offering students and recent graduates access to a curated group of leading employers from across the UK and beyond. The fair is specifically designed to showcase graduate schemes, internships, and work experience opportunities within large multinationals, public sector bodies, start-ups, and charitable organisations. Students can explore roles in consulting, banking, tech, energy, healthcare, and law, among others.

Beyond simply gathering employer stands, the fair creates a space for meaningful, one-to-one conversations between recruiters and Cambridge students. Attendees gain insights into each employer’s recruitment cycle, values, and work culture, giving them the chance to make well-informed decisions about their future career. Many of the attending companies offer structured development programmes, and students are encouraged to come prepared with questions and copies of their CVs. The fair is free to attend, and no booking is required for most Cambridge students. It serves not only as a launchpad for professional opportunities but also as a confidence-building experience in navigating job interviews and employer engagement. It is a must-attend for anyone considering a competitive graduate programme.
