Future Leaders Careers Day

Join former Team GB Olympian Peter Bakare for the Future Leaders Careers Day. Running alongside the open day, students and their families can take part in activities focused on self- awareness, teamwork and communication. Students build a personal profile workbook and reflect independently to set goals, consider their future direction, concerns and setbacks through guided journaling and discussion.

The session will be repeated 4 times across the day:

9.30am – 10.30am
10.45am – 11:45am
12.15pm – 1.15pm
1.30pm – 2.30pm

Students are also invited to attend the open day where they can talk to academic staff, student support, student finance, explore our campus and facilities and find out more about studying at university.
