Gregynog Half Weekend for Second Year Students

Every year, we organise a 'weekend' for second years with compulsory industrial year. The evening and day focus around mock interviews with real industrialists from companies like Google, Oracle, United Technologies (UTC), GE, Portaltech Reply, Network Rail, DataSift etc.

Venue & cost

The weekend will be held at Gregynog a country house and conference centre owned by the University of Wales. The cost to students is £40 (paid via the web shop ).

The weekend will include interviews, skills building, assessment center information, talks from employers, and from students recently returned from their IY as well as time in the bar.

All second years with an integrated industrial year as part of their degree are encouraged to attend, others may if there is room.
