International students

Durham University's international graduates progress on to rewarding and prestigious careers both in the UK and overseas. The University was recently ranked 15th globally for employer reputation in the 2011 QS World University League Rankings, up from 24th position last year. To see some examples of previous international graduates and what they went on to do please visit our international student blog.

International Students can access all of the services that we offer at the Careers, Employability and Enterprise Centre. This includes individual careers advice, support with CVs and application forms and searching for part-time employment (Student Employment Service). If you would like to find out more about the individual support that we can provide and how to book an appointment online, please refer to the 'Individual appointments' section of this website.

Within the information room of the Careers Centre there is an extensive collection of information on careers, employers and job opportunities both in the UK and internationally. If you are not sure how to access help from the Careers, Employability and Enterprise Centre then please contact us or visit the Careers Centre in person and speak to a member of the information team. One of the Information staff will be available to speak with you and advise you on the range of services that we offer to students.
