London Careers Advisers' and Teachers' Conference

 

The 2011 London Careers Advisers' and Teachers' Conference took place on Thursday 19 May 2011 at The University Women’s Club, W1.

 

Although all careers advisers and teachers working in London and the South East are welcome to attend the full day conference in Nottingham in March, we appreciate that you may prefer to attend an event closer to home and so this event has been developed with you in mind.

Delegates have the opportunity to be updated by key admissions staff including specilaist workshops with admissions tutors. The event is now in its fifth year and has now been expanded to include parallel talks in the morning sessions. Medicine Admissions Officer Martine Lowes will present on applications to the School of Medicine, and Undergraduate Admissions Officer Jo Morgan will explain procedures in the School of Economics.

Delegates have the opportunity to partake in a question and answer session with subject representatives, as well as being informed about developments at Nottingham and within the higher education sector.

Details of the 2012 Conference will be available on this page when the date has been confirmed.
