These could include consultancy projects, work placements, and extra-curricular activities (such as employer or alumni talks, skill development masterclasses or workshops). Such engagement may involve developing relationships with existing contacts but will also involve proactively researching the market and establishing new connections.

The interviews will take place on Tuesday 6 February 2024 at UCL East.
