Description

To kick off the new semester, we have a specially organised careers event for students at the School of Politics and International Relations. 

Join our online panels to hear from former University of Nottingham students and some external speakers about their careers since leaving university. 

Figuring out what to do post-graduation can be daunting. This event is a brilliant chance to hear from people who only a few years ago were sitting in seminars and lectures but have since become civil servants, community organisers, CEOs , journalists… even an MP.    

The online panels are Wednesday 2 February and cover three different sectors. Please see below for details about themes, timing, and speakers.
