Oxford students in their formal gowns

Oxford Graduate Careers Guide

Large companies seeking to recruit Oxford graduates tend to visit the city each year during Michaelmas term (Oct-Dec). This period of intensive presentations (many accompanied by buffets) is known locally as the Milkround. Recently the presentation period has extended across the year, now including subject-specific Careers Fairs where students can investigate several options under one roof, and a central summer Careers Fair (see below) organised by Oxford University Careers Service where graduates can meet dozens of prospective employers in one day. Individual presentations are added to this page as they are confirmed. Please check back regularly to see the latest updates - and do keep an eye out for the Graduate Jobs advertised on Daily Info's Jobs page too.
