Supporting under-represented students

We know that some students come from disadvantaged backgrounds. As a diverse and supportive institution we do everything we can to help make the graduate labour market a level playing field for all students.

Career Confident: talent spotting, diversity and corporate social responsibility

Career Confident aims to level the playing field for students who are underrepresented in Higher Education.

You can benefit from a fresh perspective and new ideas by offering flexible, blended or virtual work experience to students. Career Confident works with employers to support students to gain tailored and flexible work experience, ranging from 1 to 10 days of unpaid work insights to 30-day paid placements (Career Confident will cover the students’ salary).
