Working with Employers
At the Hugh Baird University Centre, we understand the importance of making sure we are helping prepare our undergraduates for the world of work ensuring they leave 'career ready'.
We ensure that employability skills are embedded into all of our programmes and we have strong links with both local and national employers. This means that students take part in live briefs, are visited by guest lecturers and industry experts and go on visits to employers’ premises.
Many of our alumni return to the Hugh Baird University Centre as guest speakers, passing on their experience and advice to the next generation. All of this contributes to both our full time and part time students leaving the Hugh Baird University Centre career ready.
Valued by Employers
Our degree level qualifications are valued by employers and we work with many different industries to ensure that our programmes have that vocational edge. The courses are work-related, and are aimed at those who prefer to take a vocational route and build up the skills and knowledge to progress and succeed in the competitive jobs market.
We work closely alongside experts from within the profession or the industry concerned. That way, undergraduates can be sure that the course is academically strong and meets the needs of employers.

Employer Events
Meet the Professionals
Our annual 'Meet the Professionals' event is our students chance to ask the experts in preparation for the next stage of their career journeys. It is also a chance to meet representatives from a variety of sectors to discuss and ask relevant industry related questions to professionals and potential future employers.
What employers say about our events
"It was a pleasure to present to the students at Hugh Baird, albeit virtually and not in the usual way of face to face! It's always great to be able to share my experience and top tips with those looking to take the next step in their lives and these young people have bright futures ahead!"

I was honoured to be asked to present to Hugh Baird University students as part of their ‘Meet the Professionals’ programme. The students were very welcoming, attentive and I was very impressed with the level of questions submitted following the walkthrough.”
