Thinking about a career in marketing or graduate sales? This is a great chance to come and hear from Manchester Met alumni about their experiences and get the chance to network with them over some pizza, cake and drinks.

Hearing from alumni gives you the chance to find out anything you’d like about what it’s like to go into teaching. You’ll have a chance to ask any questions you’d like and build your professional network.

The session will be split with the first half being question and answers with our alumni before giving you the chance to meet them informally with a networking session.

Alongside this, for the past four years, I have been freelancing as a photographer for Manchester Airport.
