Careers support for international students and graduates
Student Futures is LJMU’s careers, employability, and start-up team. We’re here to support you both during university and as a graduate to help you move into work or self-employment.
Whether you are just starting to think about your future and need advice on researching your options or have some clear career ideas already and would like some support with the recruitment process, we are here to help.
Watch our welcome video to learn about the support we offer.
During the summer of 2026, Student Futures worked with international student interns to create useful careers resources for international students and graduates to help you understand and navigate the UK job market. Reflecting on their own experiences and the feedback collected from international students at LJMU during focus groups, they have produced a number of guides packed full of useful tips, which you can explore below, alongside some inspiring alumni case studies and tips for engaging with networks for international students like Alumni UK.
As an international student at LJMU, you also have access to Student Circus, a leading job readiness platform for international students, which provides:
- pre-filtered visa-sponsored jobs in the UK
- jobs with employers in 30+ countries that value global experience
- immigration guide
- country career guides
- career ignition hub, featuring video resources for UK job readiness
