Q&A: Media

This exciting event is a chance for students to voice their questions to a panel of experienced professionals in a Q&A session focusing on working in the Media.

Students are invited to submit questions to a panel of Media experts which will be opened up for discussion. The panel will be chaired by a Careers Adviser who will keep it running to time and direct questions to each panel member as appropriate.

Students will have to pre-register to attend and all questions must be submitted in advance.
