SubscribeAbout us
We help international students turn a UK degree into a UK career.
Why we exist
International students bring talent, ambition and fresh perspectives to UK universities. But many arrive without knowing how UK recruitment works, what employers expect, or who to ask for advice.
Pathway Careers UK was created to close that gap. We start supporting students during their studies, not at the end, so there is time to build skills, experience and confidence.
Our support is free to students throughout their studies.
Who we support
- International students applying to study in the UK
- Undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students
- Students from any subject area
- Anyone looking for part-time work during their degree
What we stand for
Free and fair
Free for students during their studies, with clear information about what we do.
Practical
Every session leaves you with something to do next: a better answer, a stronger CV, a clear plan.
Honest
We give straightforward feedback and never promise outcomes we cannot control.
Personal
Your background, goals and timetable shape the support you receive.
Information about working rights and visas is general guidance only. We are not immigration advisers, and we will point you to official sources and your university's international office.
