May/June ebulletin
It is the time of year when our final year students have their heads down and are completing their assessments before the July graduation ceremonies. We are sure you will join us in wishing them the best of luck in their endeavours. As part of our commitment to student and alumni employability, we are delighted to invite alumni to get work-ready with our Graduate Summer School 2013 – a programme of events designed to prepare graduates for their career challenges.
We are delighted that so many of you have already taken the time to complete our short alumni survey which was sent out earlier this week. Don’t forget that there is an iPad prize draw for completed responses, so please reply as we need to hear from as many of you as possible.
