This day-long event will bring together Professionals, Alumni, Faculty and current students. In addition to celebrating the official launch of the Alumni Network, the aim of the event is to present opportunities, provide advice and answer students’ myriad questions regarding the options available to them both nationally and internationally, after graduation. At the School we consider good careers guidance, be it from Academics, Professionals or Alumni, a fundamental part of the programme.

The whole event will be available as a video conference.

If you can’t be with us in person, you can sign up watch us and chat live via Adobe Connect or follow the streaming and post comments and questions on the Facebook page and tweet   about the event.
