HIRE OUR STUDENTS
UU Careergate is the preferred career network for students and graduates at Uppsala University. The site provides employers opportunities to post positions or manage their brands towards our students and graduates.
Kompetensguiden has been developed by the Uppsala Uppsala Union of Engineering and Science Students (UTN) in dialogue with representatives from the university. The aim is to offer prospective employers a structured picture of the training programs in technology and science available at Uppsala University (in Swedish only).
Uppsala Union of Engineering and Science Students’ career fair Utnarm is organized once a year, on the Thursday during week 45. Here students can meet companies and organisations and discuss possibilities for collaboration on future thesis projects, summer jobs and employment after graduation.
