Key issues for international studentsAdjustment to British jobs market and competency based recruitment used by UK and global employers.
Careers and Employability Centre is not a placement service: we help and support students in their job search but we do not place students in a job directly.
Earning money and part-time work: around 300 plus jobs only on campus each year and we advertise around 1,500 part-time, work experience paid opportunities each year and 2000 graduate jobs.
Sussex economy is made of a few large employers but around 90% are small and medium-sized employers in the digital media, leisure, hotel and catering, financial servicesand retail sectors.
