Careers event: Weds 13th March, 4.30 – 6.00pm

Thinking
about your career? Wondering what
to do once you’ve graduated?
Here’s an opportunity to come and hear former students from our
department talk about the uses they have made of a degree from the department
of English, American Studies and Creative Writing.
We have
arranged for a panel of former students, from a variety of occupations
(including media, journalism, writing, accountancy and local government) and at
different stages in their career, to come and talk to you about their
experiences and the ways in which their degree has helped them in their chosen
career. There will also be a
chance for you to ask them questions.
Confirmed speakers include:
