Joe Doherty from the University of Sheffield gave a valuable and informative presentation about researching and choosing a university course and university – considering your specific interests and which parts of a subject really appeal to you to find the best course from the 35,000+ available at UK universities.

Mark Haviland from Conscious Careers spoke about considering future careers with the world in mind; identifying elements of the Sustainable Development Goals which appeal and connect with an individual’s subject interests and skills to consider potential areas for working to find solutions to help achieve the SDGs.

Meanwhile, Chris Campasano from ETHOS Sports and Education was available to discuss elite sports scholarships worldwide and InvestIN showcased their immersive careers experiences.

Thank you to all those who volunteered their time to share their experiences. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with so many professionals, finding inspiration for future career investigation.
