Bing will also introduce you to other things on offer from the Faculty of Arts, for example the Study Cafes.

Zoe Young will introduce the Warwick Award. The Warwick Award is an institution-wide award, which helps students to identify and develop their employability skills in a flexible and accessible way. Based around 12 Core Skills, the Warwick Award recognises skills developed through students’ academic studies as well as through a wide range of co- and extra-curricular activities, and helps students to explore opportunities to further enhance their skills. In this session, I will explain how you can get involved with the Warwick Award, answer any questions you may have, and highlight some of the activities you can participate in during your time at Warwick.

An award-winning teacher and researcher, Robert leads the Digital Arts and Humanities Lab, providing an exciting series of workshops to inspire students and staff to be creative with technology, to undertake projects, engage with academic and industry collaborators, and achieve great things (including one student who won a Bafta for app design). Rob will introduce the DAHL and discuss the opportunities on offer this year.
