Event Description

#StudentOppsFest | Routes into tech with the BBC: turn “neglecting your degree” into a career

It turns out all those long nights spent rigging, coding and soldering instead of doing assignments/lab prep/seminar reading can be turned into a career which for some reason they’ll pay you for!

Wednesday 01 July 2020 4pm - 5pm Online
