Careers ServiceRaise your profile

The University of Strathclyde is 'the place of useful learning'. It attracts many of the best-qualified students in the west of Scotland. We are the third largest provider of full-time courses in Scotland. Many top UK employers express satisfaction with the high quality of Strathclyde recruits.

We offer a range of services to help raise your profile and attract applicants. There are on-campus options, alongside online opportunities, to engage with our students.

As a first step, we recommend that you register with MyCareerHub Strathclyde. Once you list your organisation, student and graduate jobseekers can follow you. Your vacancy will appear first when they log in to search for vacancies. 

There are other ways to raise awareness of your business within the University.
