The Alumni Blog

Graduates Supporting Students

Our Alumni Community is formed of thousands of graduates. Graduates who have been where you have been, walked in your shoes, been there and done that.  

The Alumni Blog is an opportunity for our graduates to share what they have learned; helping you, our students, to understand how to navigate uncertainty, find your potential and achieve your goals.  Here you will find a variety of blog posts on things which matter to you.  Our Alumni are asked "What would they have liked to have been told when they were students?"

If you would like to request a blog post on a specific topic, please contact the Alumni Relations team for a chat on alumni@uos.ac.uk
