Does Vega offer any opportunities for students to network with industry?


There are several exciting opportunities provided to Vega students to network with industry professionals. It is recommended to take advantage of these opportunities to engage with industry leaders and start building your own professional network. This face-to-face networking should then be extended online through your LinkedIn profile. 

 

Presentations on campus


Each campus arranges regular talks by professionals from different fields of industry. These talks typically take place during a lunch hour when no lectures are scheduled. The details of these talks will be communicated to students through emails, WhatsApp messages, and posters on campus. Academic navigators will also inform students about any relevant industry talks. The content and topic of the talks will focus on different fields depending on the expertise of the speaker. It is recommended to attend these talks even if the field is not directly related to your qualification, as any industry input provides invaluable new perspectives and advice. 


 Industry guests in class sessions 


Academic navigators invite industry specialists to talk during a class session. These presentations give students the opportunity to meet specialists within their specific field to make contact and gain valuable advice. These presentations will be communicated to you through your individual navigators. 

 

Portfolio Night 


Each campus organizes a Portfolio Night event that features industry experts offering advice to students on their portfolio work. The event is managed as a speed date with students moving to different experts to receive different perspectives on their work, as well as networking opportunities.
