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.
