Quiet time and Appointments during the Autumn Careers Fair

To support the diverse needs of our students, this year’s Autumn Fair will feature a period of ‘quiet time’ from 2.30pm – 3pm on both days, when numbers will be restricted and noise levels reduced.

We will be offering opportunities for one-to-one employer conversations to Queen's students who, due to a disability or health condition, will find it difficult to attend the careers fair. 

A maximum of three, 10-minute employer conversations will be offered. These will take place in a quiet area within the Fair between 11.00am and 3.00pm. 

Students seeking these appointments should be registered with Queen's Accessible Learning Support

Please note that bookings have now closed for these appointments.
