SAY HELLO

A Fast Growing City

Peterborough is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK, particularly due to excellent road and rail links. There is a thriving hub of businesses which includes head offices for some of the UK’s top companies. With this growth, there is demand from companies for graduates, which gives University Centre Peterborough graduates a head start in gaining employment in their chosen career.

Hello Future

Our degrees have been designed in consultation with local employers to ensure our graduates are career ready as we realise how important new graduates are for local employers. Visit our website to explore the different careers and jobs available for graduates to help you choose which course is most suitable for you.

Improving Employability

We have an Employability Hub to enhance your professional and transferable skills. We work with students and employers to develop graduate outcomes and maximise the employability of our students. There are numerous employability and volunteering opportunities each year, supported by local and national employers.

Work Placements and Work Experience

Employability plays an important part in the course that you study, and we will help you identify work placements, internships and volunteering opportunities. As our lecturers have links with industry, they can let you know about the opportunities available even after you have finished studying with us and become part of our Alumni.

Some courses include work placements as core modules which are assessed and may lead to employment after you graduate. As courses are timetabled as full days during the week when studied full-time, this gives you the flexibility to find part-time work or a work placement, internship or volunteering opportunity.
