AT YOUR SERVICE!

Our student ambassadors are easily identifiable by their branded T-shirts, featuring “Student Ambassador” on the back, and will be carrying an ‘Ask me a question’ placard.

SHAPE YOUR FUTURE AT OUR ONE-STOP FUTURES ZONE!

When it comes to making decisions on what courses to take, we find it best to focus on careers, not courses. During our open event, you can explore our one-stop futures shop, located in the atrium. If you are unsure of the career you might like, then don’t worry; we can help you with that too!

• Exhibitors from local and national universities, employers, armed forces and emergency services.
