Enhance your alumni community

Online journals? Co-working space? Events, study discounts, library membership? We’re working on refining the package of benefits available to Imperial alumni and we’d love to hear from you. Please join us for a one-hour focus group to let us know what benefits are important to you, and what else you’d like to see in the package. Focus groups are taking place in person and online at various times throughout March and April.

Express interest in joining a focus group.

Our Masterclass series provides recent Imperial graduates with opportunities for professional development and networking. Combining thought leadership with the opportunity to develop and refine skills and personal attributes for success, our Masterclasses attract an international alumni audience from many different sectors and disciplines. Recent topics have addressed new ways of networking to remain visible in a virtual world of work and what it means to be a modern manager.

We are keen to hear from experienced alumni who would like to share their own expertise and deliver an interactive virtual masterclass on a professional development/career related theme. If you are passionate and knowledgeable about a subject or have a contemporary, new angle on a traditional theme, we would like to hear from you. If you have an idea in mind we can help you shape the content to develop this into a Masterclass.

If you're interested in taking part or would like to find out more, please contact the Alumni Events team, on alumnievents@imperial.ac.uk.

Time Commitment: Approximately three hours - one hour for the event plus preparation/planning time
