Your MA will have further developed your research skills and if you enjoy research but do not want to pursue a career in academia, come along to the The MRS and AQR Graduate Roadshow on 22nd November at 2.30 - 3.30 in People's Palace 1.
History MA students have a fantastic skill set for this career path... come and explore more.
N.B. MRS = Market Research Society. AQR = Association for Qualitative Research.
The session will include:
- Ken Parker – (Fellow of MRS & Chair of the AQR). Hear from Ken speak on the reason behind the session title “Defining the Forefront”, and find out he he will illustrate this with high profile research projects he’s worked on.
- Two young researchers with differing experience give ‘their story’ and share a case study or two and discuss projects they’ve worked on and how much influence they have on brands and senior clients at a relatively young age. You will gain an opportunity to learn how research was used to define the format of the Premier League, how the advertising strategy was developed for a famous baked beans company, or how the design of category-leading cars have been crafted as a result of research.
- Trish Parker ends by discussing career opportunities and taking questions.
