Penryn Campus Part-Time Jobs Fair

Wednesday 1 October 2025, 10:30 - 14:00, The Exchange, Penryn Campus, Cornwall

The Penryn Campus Part-Time Jobs Fair is open to University of Exeter and Falmouth University students of all years and disciplines.

Here you can meet and talk with employers about their part-time jobs and seasonal work, but also consider internship programmes, placements, and graduate careers where relevant.

The fair will be held in Social Street on the ground floor of The Exchange on the Penryn Campus. We'll be welcoming local and regional employers on to campus who are looking to fill vacancies. All employers at the fair will have paid, live, part-time or seasonal vacancies - it couldn't be easier to find work to support you through your studies! 

Please note the Penryn Campus Part-Time Jobs Fair will run from 10:30 until 14:00. The first 30 minutes will be run as a quiet session to enable students with additional needs to more easily access the fair experience. You do not need to register for this quiet session.

We endeavour to make all our events as accessible as possible. If there's more we could do, then please email your thoughts and recommendations to es-penryn@exeter.ac.uk
