Bradford Guest Lecture Series 2011-12

Semester 2b

Every semester the school invites guest speakers to present on a range of topics. Some of the speakers are alumni, who are happy to return to the school to share their experiences, and others will be experts in a particular field who will provide detailed understanding of a specific area.

As well as inviting current students on the MBA, MSc and undergraduate degrees we are also inviting alumni and other partners. These are fantastic networking opportunities and we would recommend that you attend as many of these presentations as you can. The bar at Heaton Mount will be open after the session to allow further networking.

Please note you will need to arrive at 6.15 to register for a 6.30 start.

For further information please contact Joanne Christie at the Knowledge Transfer Networks on j.christie@bradford.ac.uk or call on 01274 235676 and to request a place at this event please use the booking form below.
