The Careers and Placements Fair is the largest event on our calendar and attracts students from all disciplines and years. This is our flagship careers fair and the ideal opportunity to promote graduate and placement opportunities. 

We are a global University that enjoys a world-class reputation for teaching, research and enterprise. Entry requirements for the vast majority of first degree programmes are A-levels at A or B grade. See a full list of the courses offered at Reading.

Due to the popularity of the fair, spaces are allocated to ensure a fair representation of sectors that interest our students. Prices are graded from £300 + VAT to £680 + VAT depending on location to meet your particular budget. Free spaces are given at the discretion of the careers centre for charities/not-for-profit organisations. Please request this category when booking if this applies to your organisation.
