Learn From Alumni: Start Preparing for Life After Uni
Dreaming of life after graduation?
This event, organised by the Alumni team, brings real graduate experiences to life, giving you a rare chance to hear honest insights and ask questions.
Whether graduation is around the corner or you still have a few years left, our panel of recent alumni will share what this transition is really like and how to make the most of it, offering clear and practical tips you can start using now.
From understanding workplace expectations to overcoming imposter syndrome, you’ll leave feeling prepared to take on your next adventure.
Plus, final-year students can continue the conversation over dinner at Saint Lucy’s. Go deeper (‘What do I wear on my first day at work?’), practice real-world networking and make the most of your final moments before graduation. Places are limited*.
