The Graduate School in collaboration with the Commissioner for Public Appointments Northern Ireland (CPANI) is offering a unique opportunity for postgraduate students to be professionally mentored by a board member from a public body. Public bodies make important decisions that shape the quality of our lives, from funding the arts, sports and science to providing essential healthcare and safeguarding the environment as well as promoting human rights and delivering justice. This information session will provide you with further information and the application process. This programme is open to all current QUB postgraduate students studying during the academic year 2022-2023.
