On Thursday 11th July University of Birmingham alumni and friends met for lively conversation and networking at the H Hotel, Dubai.
They were joined by students who are starting their studies in the autumn and their parents. The new students spent their time wisely with the alumni, asking for advice on how to make the most of their time at Birmingham. Claire O’Sullivan (Associate Director, Engagement and International Partnerships) then did a short welcome address, and was joined by Jess Harrington (Project Manager of the Dubai campus) who talked about our campus site and the build project. The speeches were followed by a buffet supper and more conversation.
We were really pleased that so many alumni have been in touch to offer support for internships, work experience and general advice.
We will be inviting alumni to attend the Open Day in the phase 1 campus building in the autumn, and will be circulating details of our digital exhibition of the Birmingham Qur’an manuscript which will visit Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai from October 2017 – February 2018.
