Programme
Would you like to attend the Alumni Event on Friday 11 September? If so, you can choose from three options. You can take part in the afternoon programme organised by your former study/academy and then join the reception with drinks and food.
There is also an opportunity to attend the BUas opening of the academic year. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Tom Berendsen, will be giving a keynote speech there.
It is also possible to simply join the Alumni Drinks at the end of the afternoon and evening.
