The School of English is participating in a series of events, now in its second year, called Humanities for Hire. The series has been designed to help Humanities students to start thinking about their future career and to encourage them to develop their employability skills whilst they are at university.
The two week series runs from 6-17 March on the Canterbury campus. The full list of events can be viewed here.
Students need to book on to each event, of which some have a limited capacity – so please book as soon as possible.
