Booking recommended.

Join us in Crosslands every Tuesday evening until the end of term and have your opportunity to perform in front of a live audience. Free entry, just sign-up behind the bar.

The careers fair takes place on Wednesday 24 October 2018, 11am to 3pm in the Picture Gallery and North Quad. 

With many recruiters together on campus, fairs are a great way to speak with prospective employers in order to learn about career opportunities and understand their requirements. They aren't just for final year students either; first and second years can also benefit. Around three quarters of employers last year offered placements and/or summer internships as well as graduate training schemes.

On Wednesday 24 October, from 2-4pm, in the Moore Building Auditorium, the Department of English will be hosting a session of micro-talks on writers of colour. 

Students and colleagues are invited to attend the session and share their recommendations of writers of colour. Participants will discuss what they love about these writers' works and why they matter. From the session, we hope that students will learn about emerging literary voices, discover classics they may have missed and maybe find a new favourite author. 

A quintessentially British thing to do and perfect for the colder weather! Come over for a cuppa and a chance to chat with everyone!

Misunderstood and maligned today, sentimentality was central to Victorian art and literature.

Understanding your individual strengths is increasingly important because rising numbers of graduate recruiters assess strengths as part of their selection process. 

In this workshop, you will review your own strengths. You will practice answering strengths-based interview questions and identify opportunities for developing strengths you haven't been using much.

Before the workshop, you will need to visit the website: www.jobmi.com and complete the full strengths match questionnaire. Don’t stop at the first break where the site suggests jobs, keep going until you get a list of your visible and invisible strengths. You need to bring these lists with you to the workshop.
