Our Students and Recent Graduates
With 40,000 students across 190+ countries, our diverse cohort brings a wealth of experience, interdisciplinary thinking, and advanced digital skills developed through our online, flexible and distance learning programmes.
Our students earn their University of London degrees with academic direction from federation members including Birkbeck, City St George’s, Goldsmiths, King’s College London, London School of Economics (LSE), London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Queen Mary, and University College London (UCL).
Unlike many universities, our students include Career Starters, Career Developers, and Career Changers. They range from those launching their careers to experienced professionals seeking promotions or career pivots. This diversity of location and experience makes them eligible for global opportunities, from internships to graduate roles and experienced hire positions. Additionally, we support our graduates for up to two years post-graduation.
How we work with employers
The University of London Careers Service works with employers and professional bodies from around the world, providing a range of opportunities to engage with current University of London distance learning students and recent graduates.

Online Panel Discussions
Share your career journey and highlight your employer brand in our one-hour online panel discussions. These events give students and graduates valuable insight into career paths across various sectors. Our panels typically feature employers, professional associations and University of London alumni who share their career experiences and discuss industry trends.
This is a great opportunity to engage directly with students interested in the opportunities in your organisation or sector.
Webinars and Online Workshops
We are seeking employers and alumni interested in co-delivering webinars and interactive workshops tailored to specific audiences. Whether adapting existing content or co-creating new topics, these sessions provide an engaging platform to enhance your brand with our diverse student body. We can arrange these events with just a few weeks' notice.
On-Demand Content
Many of our students balance work, study, and other commitments, making it difficult to attend live events. This is why we offer on-demand careers content.
We actively seek to collaborate with employers to develop asynchronous work-based learning tasks and create content including ‘talking head’ videos, audio notes, and blog posts and particularly welcome think pieces and case studies on industry trends and employability topics which we feature on our Virtual Learning Environment and LinkedIn page.
Our podcast, Global Careers Calls, offers in-depth conversations on career journeys and sector insights with guests from our alumni and employer network.
Labour Market Intelligence
As the global labour market constantly evolves, we work with employers to gather the latest insights on industry and recruitment trends to ensure our students, graduates, careers service team and academic colleagues stay informed.
Whether it is understanding your hiring strategies, future work trends or the key qualities you seek in candidates we are eager to learn from your expertise and work together to address your labour market challenges.
