Work with
the experts
Prospects begins a relationship with
students earlier than any other media
owner and nurtures that relationship
from the time a student applies for
university right through to securing
their first graduate job.
Prospects.ac.uk is the starting point in a
student’s career search, influencing career
decisions long before the job search and
application process begins.
For the past forty years, our unique position
at the heart of the HE sector and close
partnership with UK careers services has
meant that we have an unrivalled presence
at 100% of UK universities.
Online, on campus and in print we are
unmatched – the stats speak for themselves.

Why we’re
different
Last year we made it a priority to
make our huge website traffic work
harder for advertisers. We’ve seen
our commitment pay off, with record
numbers of high-calibre graduates
searching and applying for jobs via
Prospects.ac.uk.
We remain the only graduate careers
website to fully integrate our trusted careers
content - written by university careers
advisers - with relevant advertising. That way
you can be confident of targeting motivated,
commercially-aware candidates with the right
skills and knowledge to suit your needs.
In 2013 we know we can do even more
to develop innovative ways to connect
you with the future of your business.
