Who can use the Careers Service?

The Careers Service provides careers advice and information to all current University of Cambridge undergraduate and postgraduate students. We also see postdocs, contract research staff and Cambridge alumni. If you are a member of the university then please register to access the range of services we offer to members of the University. A limited range of services is available to graduates of other universities under the Mutual Aid Scheme.

Students with disability

We have a lot of useful information for students with disabilities on our website.
We are keen that the information in our library is as accessible as possible and are always pleased to discuss any requirements you may have. You can contact us at enquiries@careers.cam.ac.uk before you visit, or if you prefer you can call in and speak to the Information Staff.
We have taken several measures to ensure careers information at Stuart House is as accessible as possible to all.

Mission Statement

• For all current Cambridge University undergraduate and postgraduate students from any year, any subject, any college, any nationality - and for all Cambridge alumni. A specialised service exists for all postdoctoral researchers.
• Able to help with advice and information whatever your starting point, whether you haven't a clue what to do or have very specific questions. Our staff are experienced professionals, competent to give advice and guidance in a wide range of areas.
• Free of charge, though some small charges are made to cover the costs of materials and consumables used in psychometric testing, and postage costs for those living away from Cambridge. You will be informed about any charges beforehand.
• Free from discrimination, we adhere to the University's Equal Opportunities Policy and Code of Practice.
• Wholly independent of any commercial relationship with employers. Unlike commercial recruitment agencies we do not receive any payment from employers based on the number of Cambridge students they recruit. Our advice and information is impartial and objective.
• Confidential; information about you will not be passed to anyone else outside the Careers Service without your prior agreement. We keep records to provide background continuity in your discussions over time with perhaps several Careers Advisers. We adhere to the Data Protection Act and Data Protection Principles listed on the University's website.
• Participative and open. We actively seek your views, comments and suggestions on how we might improve our Service. Please use the suggestions book in the foyer of Stuart House, email us your views, use our online feedback form or write to any Careers Adviser or to the Director of the Service. If you wish to complain about our service on any matter please email or write to the person involved, a Careers Adviser or the Director of the Service. You will receive our reply within five working days and we shall describe the later stages if a satisfactory resolution is not reached.
