    We expect this year's events to be attended by students and recent alumni across the King's community. This means you'll meet diverse students from all our faculties, levels of study, career aspirations and stages of their career journey.

    To be as transparent as possible, on each of our event listings you will find a fact file outlining the attendance and demographic breakdown from the most relevant event which proceeded it - including by faculty, level of study, nationality, gender, ethnicity and students' stage in their career journey which is drawn from our annual careers registration survey all students complete.

    It's important that employers understand our fairs, networking nights & speed meets welcome students at different stages in their journey and to help you understand this we've produced a downloadable guide.
