If you require any 1-to-1 careers support, please book a 1-to-1 appointment <\/b><\/a>through Engage. We’re offering both remote and in-person consultations – bookings for 20-minute consultations open a week in advance, and for 45-minute ones, you can book for up to three weeks in advance.<\/p>\n

Appointments with our Placement Teams – use the online booking system. For any questions or issues, please get in touch with the relevant Placements Team via email<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Online Resources<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
