The Northern Ireland Graduate Recruitment Fair returns to Ulster University's Belfast campus in 2026, offering Queen's University Belfast students a valuable opportunity to engage directly with leading graduate employers.
Held in partnership between Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University, this annual event is recognised as the premier recruitment fair for final‑year students and recent graduates across Northern Ireland.
It provides an excellent platform for students to explore a wide range of graduate roles, network with recruiters, and gain insight into career pathways beginning in September/Autumn 2026.
With over 70 employers expected and thousands of students attending each year, the Fair stands as a key moment in the graduate recruitment calendar - designed to connect emerging talent with organisations actively hiring for graduate programmes and entry‑level positions. Students are encouraged to make the most of this opportunity to speak with employers, ask questions, and take vital steps toward their future careers.
The event details are:
DATE: Tuesday, 2nd June 2026
