Saima Qureshi, Careers & Employability Advisor echoed the success of the event, saying:

“It was fantastic to host the Higher Education Fair, with a great turn out from universities and students alike. Our wide range of Higher Education providers had many different specialisms, giving our students the opportunity to explore all their options. It was great to see so many students chatting and engaging with the university representatives, who I’d also like to thank for kindly giving their time to join us here today”
