Meet an Oscar nominee, or the Head of BBC North West, reporters for the Sun or for ITV. All talent produced by the UCLan over the years.

The cJAM Careers In Journalism and Media event in early April hosts a glittering array of previous UCLan graduates who have gone on to big things in the outside world and want to share their experience with you.

A great opportunity to share notes, boost your CV, gain placements by meeting and greeting guests working in media today. Plus there will be a free buffet lunch!
