Support for our Indian graduates
Our Indian graduates go on to excel in a wide range of careers in the UK, India and across the world. They also benefit from structured careers guidance, strong industry connections, and extended career support beyond their studies.
Exclusive careers support for Indian graduates
Indian students at Birmingham have access to a wide range of careers support before, during and after your degree. You'll benefit from careers advice, specialist workshops, careers fairs, CV guidance and support to find work experience and internships.
From 2025, you’ll also benefit from an in-country careers advisor who will help you find employment in India after you graduate. Based in India, they will provide practical assistance to returning graduates, including pre-entry and post-graduation engagement.
Graduates will also benefit from global alumni networks, industry advisory boards and top employers to help you access job opportunities and professional development.
This support will be available to current students and graduates for up to five years after graduation, ensuring you benefit during your early professional years.
Careers Network played a significant role in preparing me for my career. They provided guidance on resume building, interview preparation, and job search strategies and organized career fairs and networking events that allowed me to connect with top employers, including investment banks. The Careers Network also helped me secure a summer internship, which was a valuable experience that helped me build my skills and confidence.

Working whilst you study
Last year we had over 6,000 opportunities for students to work in roles across campus, ranging from one-off, short-term projects to longer, 3-month contracts. Students can work up to 20 hours a week, and rates of pay for University roles begin at approx. £13 an hour (which is equivalent to approx. 1,480 INR per hour).
Working during your studies
Roles available to students included Exam Invigilator, Student Ambassador, Events Coordinator, IT AV Assistant, Podcast Audio Editor, SATNAV Chatbot Developer, and Data and CRM Support Officer.
As well as earning while you study, these roles also provide the opportunity to gain vital employability skills which will benefit you after you graduate.
