Information for employers during COVID-19
We are open on campus and online, Monday to Friday, 10.00 - 17.00, if you have any questions, please contact us.
This spring, the Careers Service is offering an online service for all events and activities, and in line with Imperial College advice all of our campus based events have been replaced with online presentations and events. We continue to monitor the situation, and we look forward to working with you during these unprecedented times.
We continue to provide a full service right up until the end of term with a variety of online one to one appointments plus our regular series of online seminars, workshops, and other events via MS Teams (Office 365).
We’ve collated some FAQs below but please do contact our Employer Liaison team with any questions or if you wish to discuss recruitment activities with one of our team.

What’s happening with exams and graduation?
The College plans to operate online exams so students can complete their studies on the planned timeframe and graduate as expected. Further information can be found on the central College COVID-19 webpage.
