In an open and relaxed setting, you will talk with alumni about their experiences after graduation. They will discuss their career journeys, what helped them find their first job, and how they apply their academic background in practice. The conversations offer space to ask questions, exchange ideas, and gain new perspectives on what is possible after your studies.
After a short panel discussion, join an interactive high tea where you can chat with alumni about topics such as imposter syndrome and discovering what suits you. Hidden among the muffins and macarons lies a surprise: one lucky guest will find the golden ticket and win a cultural pass!
