Seeing an adviser on the day
Drop in sessions run four times per week.
CV and Cover Letter drop ins are an opportunity to get your CV or cover letter checked over in a 10 - 15 minute session.
Employability drop ins are ideal to your quick questions about jobs, applications, or anything else you want to ask an advisor about without waiting for an appointment.
Advisers are able to see four students per session, so at busy times of year, arrive early to avoid disappointment. Sessions run weekly on:
