Finding a graduate job if you have a disability 

If you have a disability or long-term health condition, the Careers & Employability Service can offer additional support on finding inclusive employers, disclosure and requesting reasonable adjustments. 

You can also find information about organisations that provide support and advice in our Inclusion section

Graduate programmes are structured training schemes for recent graduates offering practical experience and often mentorship. Programmes last between one to three years and include rotations through different departments allowing you to gain a broad understanding of the company and find your area of interest.  

Although Creative Schemes are very limited - 80% of Graduate Schemes do not request a specific subject to apply. They might request that you have a 2:1 grade or above but you will need to check each scheme for their requirements.
