University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge Consultancy Fair is a focused two-day event aimed at students interested in careers in consulting and advisory services. It brings together a wide variety of employers in fields such as management consultancy, strategy, economics, public sector consulting, tech advisory, HR, and healthcare consultancy. The fair attracts both global firms and specialist boutiques, offering students a wide spectrum of roles from internships to graduate analyst programmes.

Attendees have the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with consultants and recruitment professionals, gaining insights into what a career in consultancy entails, what firms look for in candidates, and how best to prepare for the competitive application process. Many exhibitors offer fast-track interview opportunities, so students are encouraged to attend with well-prepared CVs. In addition to the exhibition stands, the event includes career talks, skills sessions, and alumni Q&A panels. These sessions aim to demystify case interviews, build commercial awareness, and boost applicants’ confidence. The Consultancy Fair is particularly beneficial for those exploring consulting as a career path and provides a strategic advantage for students applying to firms that recruit early in the academic year.
