  • Benefits of Partnerships

    Ulster works with organisations of all sizes, across all sectors and each year over 2,000 students undertake professional roles in local, national, and international settings.

    We are committed to developing work-ready graduates and focused on offering our students access to valuable and impactful work experience opportunities at varying start dates.

    Attracting and retaining the very best talent is important for any ambitious company and there are many ways Ulster students can add value to your business.

    At Ulster, we support business continuity through our placement and internship programmes, which offer you new levels of flexibility. We are currently seeking employers to work with us to provide university placements, internships, and work experience opportunities.

    We understand that your online presence is an important part of your recruitment strategy and can support you with campaigns across a range of social media platforms and targeted emails.

    Each year we promote over 7,000 local, national, and international opportunities to students and graduates on Handshake, our Careers Platform.
