Alumni session: Language and Literature

This session is intended for students in all BA, MA, and RMA programs in Language and Literature. The alumni in this session represent the breadth of the field in which students from these programs enter, such as institutions in the cultural sector, publishing, education and science. 

The session begins with a presentation in which the alumni reflect on what they took from their studies and what, in particular, proved useful in their later careers. After this, we will continue in smaller groups and you can ask all your burning questions to the various alumni, who will be happy to talk to you.
