Event Description

Futures Festival is the perfect opportunity for students to discover what life after Warwick may hold. If the prospect of a grad scheme terrifies you, the idea of corporate finance bores you, or if you haven’t a clue what you want to do with your degree, come and join us! Across five days, we’re filling Copper Rooms 2 with jobs you didn’t think existed, workshops on how to make the most of the skills you already have, and opportunities to connect with fellow students (past and present) who can help you on your way to creating your future. 

Day 1: The Creative Industries 

You’re more creative than you think!

Turn away from banking and consultancy towards the ever-expanding range of creative industries. Theatre, arts and entertainment are of course featured, but we’re thinking outside the box too! Come and see how your degree is actually more creative than you think, and hear from past and present students about the steps you can take towards fulfilling a career in the arts, technology and more…!
