Hi everyone! Welcome to a new term. If you haven't met me yet I'm Andy Walsh the Senior Careers Consultant for history.
I like to send round a list of upcoming events and opportunities that I think historians might find interesting.
As a Masters Student it's a great idea to get to see as many events as possible so you can meet with employers and then impress them with your newfound knowledge in graduate scheme applications.
Have an excellent day, Andy
