Getting started with Handshake
Handshake is one of the most important systems that you will use during your time at Ulster because it gives you access to the campus jobs, placements, internships and graduate opportunities you need.
It also links you to a wide range of employer and Employability & Careers led events as well as our expert Employability & Careers advice service.

To help you kickstart Semester 1 and to encourage you to use Handshake in an effective and meaningful way we are promoting not 1, but 2 competitions: Kickstart and Level Up!
Competition 1: Kickstart
This year, to encourage students to kickstart their career journey early, Handshake are giving away prizes to students who activate their Handshake accounts between 4th September and 13th October 2023.
Any student who activates their account between 4th September and 13th October 2023, will be automatically entered into a prize draw
The prizes include:
- 1 Macbook

Competition 2: Level Up
Level Up is open to all students and this competition is for students keen to get the most from Handshake.
By completing your Handshake Profile you are ensuring that your use of Handshake is meaningful and productive. You are making sure your Handshake profile is complete and that means employers are more likely to make direct contact with you to discuss their opportunities.
