Event Review – Bristol STEM Women Graduate Careers Event, 25th June 2025

On Wednesday 25th June from 1-4pm, on a sunny afternoon in Bristol, we welcomed over 100 bright and ambitious STEM students and graduates to the Bristol STEM Women Graduate Careers Event, held at the inspiring We The Curious venue in Millennium Square.

With 108 attendees from universities across the South West, including Bristol, UWE, Bath, and Cardiff, the event offered a unique opportunity for early-career STEM talent to connect directly with leading employers and explore what a future in STEM could look like.

A Space for Real Conversations

This event created an intimate and engaging environment where attendees could have in-depth, meaningful conversations with employers. The best of Bristol’s STEM Women were able to have thoughtful exchanges about company culture, development opportunities, and career advice for women advancing their early careers.

A Diverse and Motivated Crowd

True to STEM Women’s mission, the event proudly welcomed the attendees with a diverse range of degree subjects, predominantly women and non-binary individuals pursuing degrees in subjects like computer science, physics, data science, engineering, mathematics, accounting and more.

Many were in their final year of study or recently graduated, keen to find internships, graduate roles, or simply to learn more about what options exist beyond university and seek advice for success in these spaces.

Exhibitor Highlights

14 employers from across STEM industries came ready to engage, including:

• Admiral Group PLC
• Lumentum
• Akkodis
• British Army
• AWE
• Callen-Lenz
• DEF UK
• Hazlewoods
• L3 Harris
• MBDA
• National Crime Agency
• RWE
• SNC

STEM Women Events allow a tailored experience, employers could share advice and spend quality time with each individual. One employer shared how impressed they were at the quality of the students and graduates, particularly how they were so engaged and excited about holding real conversations and taking full advantage of the afternoon.

Looking Ahead

The success of this event excites us for the rest of our summer events and the upcoming Autumn events, particularly the Bristol STEM Women Graduate Careers Event on Tuesday 21st October 2025, which will be held at We The Curious.

With exhibitor bookings now open, the event promises to be another excellent opportunity for students and graduates to connect with top employers in the STEM field.
