On Thursday 30th November the School will be hosting its annual Opportunities Fair – bringing many of our partner organisations together into one place where you can hear more about opportunities to work with them, and having the chance to speak with them on an informal basis. This is the best chance during the year for all the School’s students to connect with organisations both external to and inside the University, and find out about their opportunities. Each organisation will give a one-minute introduction to themselves and their openings, after which there will be time to meet their staff. Refreshments will be provided.

When: Thursday 30th November at 5pm or 6pm
Where: Biomechanics Lab
Who: Essential for all students

In order to maximise the number of students who can participate, the event will essentially run twice: with the set of introductions being delivered at 5pm and 6pm. All students are strongly encouraged to attend one or the other.Confirmed attendees so far include the following (with another coaching company and some schools amongst those we are still hoping will also be able to attend):
