Social Sciences Forum

This event in February 2011 offered students studying a social sciences degree the opportunity to listen to and engage with a range professionals who talked about their occupations and career choices.

The panel included people from the following professions:

  • Chief Inspector (Sussex Police)
  • Drugs Counsellor (Sussex Partnership)
  • Educational Psychologist (Brighton and Hove City Council)
  • Young Runaways Mentor Co-ordinator (Catch 22: East Sussex Mentoring Service)
  • Counsellor (University of Brighton)
  • Social Worker.

Two of the speakers were University of Brighton graduates.

Each of the professionals spoke about their how they qualified and their current role and offered practical advice regarding the graduate job market.
