session of specialist 20 minute seminars throughout the day, so students can
attend a selection of different seminars during their time at the fair. The
seminars will be provided by professional graduate careers advisers and cover
topics such as personal statements, conversion courses, teacher training in the
UK, studying abroad and distance learning
