It’s our biggest event of the year, running over 3 days in McEwan Hall and has something to offer all students, including the chance to:
meet a wide range of different employers
discover people, events and resources to help you with your career decisions throughout your studies and after you graduate
So whether you’re looking for part-time work, thinking about how you can build experience, or want to start exploring options or making applications for roles after graduation, you’ll find inspiration within the event.
There’s no preparation needed – our friendly and supportive staff, which includes lots of students just like you, will be on hand to help. There will be a wide range of employers and professional bodies attending each day, and they are all keen to help you have a great experience.
When: Tuesday 6, Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 October 2026, 1:00-6:00pm
Where: On-Campus – McEwan Hall, Bristo Square, Edinburgh
During these 3 days the Careers Service is relocating to McEwan Hall – we hope to meet you there.
More information will be available soon on MyCareerHub (UoE login required).
Feeling anxious about attending Discover Careers? We’re here to help.
We understand this kind of event can feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate. We have a dedicated Quiet Zone and staff on hand to help. If you can choose when to come, the final hour is usually less busy than the start of the event.
