Employer booking is NOW OPEN

  • King's student, offer holder and recent alumni booking for these events will open in early summer 2026 via King's CareerConnect or your King's offer holder pack.
  • Students, offer holders and recent alumni from our partner institutions will have details shared with them from their local careers departments about how to register in early summer 2026.

The Careers in China fairs are a partnership between seven of the world’s leading universities - driven by Imperial, King’s College London and The London School of Economics and Political Science, supported this summer by the University of Cambridge, University of Chicago, Cornell University and UCL.

Over 20 years, our Careers in China Fairs have been one of the leading in-country recruitment activities to meet high calibre students who are available right now for graduate roles across China having completed their programme, or ready to commence employment in the next 12 months, following their academic study.

In August 2026, we will be holding these events, with employers able to attend individual or multiple events dependent upon your hiring strategy:
