Hi Everyone,
I hope you're all enjoying the summer!
We're migrating our Facebook group over to LinkedIn shortly so if you'd like to stay in touch with us please do join our new LinkedIn group. We'll be closing this page by the end of August so make sure you join us on LinkedIn before then!

UWE Environment and Conservation LinkedIn Group
We have a new UWE Environment and Conservation LinkedIn group, for all current students, alumni and staff. We'll use it to share any opportunities (e.g. internships, jobs, MSc and PhD positions) that we come across, so please do join us here and feel free to share any opportunities you come across too.
If you don't already have a LinkedIn profile it's really straightforward to set one up and it's a great way to network, find out about interesting opportunities, and develop your skills through online courses.
