From Course to Career

It couldn’t be easier to access careers support at Hallam. You’ll have a dedicated careers and employability team including Employability Advisers, a breadth of digital careers support and access to the service on campus. Here are just some of the ways we can help you.
​

Earn while you learn

Looking for part-time work while you study? A good place to start is Handshake, where we list hundreds of jobs. You can also meet employers at the Hallam Careers Fair in October and many students choose to work on campus or at the Students’ Union.

If you’re in the UK on a student visa, you can normally work for up to 20 hours per week, but we recommend working 15 hours during term time.

Get work experience

Develop your skills and impress employers with internships and volunteering opportunities in Sheffield and beyond. You can also boost your degree with a year-long paid work placement. By adding real-world examples to your work, you’ll receive an Applied Professional Diploma in addition to your degree, helping you stand out to future employers.

Learn more about finding work experience and how we can support you, including advice and information at various events and 1:1 employability appointments to help you secure your opportunity.

Hallam Award

The Hallam Award gives you official recognition for all the extra things you do here, from work and volunteering to student societies and sports. It’s a great way to build your confidence and boost your CV – enabling you to tell your story to future employers and stand out from the crowd.

Enjoy lifetime support

Our careers team are here to support you during your degree and after you graduate. Set yourself up for the job market with employability support and careers guidance, CV checking, interview prep and advice on further study.

And, as a Hallam graduate, you’ll have access to careers support, online resources and job opportunities for the whole of your career.

Employability guaranteed
