  • Alumni Panels: coming up are informal panel events with alumni from English and Drama. Lots of different sectors and roles will be represented, and you can ask the alumni anything about their career journey after Queen Mary. The Drama alumni panel is taking place on Wednesday 29th March 6-7.30pm on campus, and you can find more details and book a spot here. Keep an eye out for more details on the English alumni panel coming soon! Both events are open to all SED students.
  • One-to-one online guidance appointments are available exclusively for SED students every Wednesday with me; we can talk about anything at all in relation to your career, and you don’t need to know what you want to do to have a chat! To book an appointment, contact me: f.bush@qmul.ac.uk.
