UCL Global Business School for Health Careers Festival 2023

You are warmly invited to attend the GBSH’s inaugural Careers Festival 2023. We want to connect students with professionals and employers to build a future workforce of talented healthcare management leaders.

With this in mind, we've designed the GBSH Careers Festival to bring together a wide range of global employers recruiting healthcare management roles, including leaders from big tech, health innovation, finance, digital start-ups, charity and consultancy firms. Having access to this many industry leaders in one space will be a great networking opportunity for you to scope out the current job market and career options available to you.

During the festival, you'll get the chance to attend panel discussions, taster sessions, skills workshops and fireside chats from leading health innovators and changemakers. You will need to register to attend these early on, as they’ll have limited capacity and we expect them to book up quickly. We will add these sessions to this main page and notify all students when they're available to book.

Employers coming to meet you include Acacium Group, Deloitte, ABPI, LifeArc, Pfizer, and many more.

The GBSH Careers Festival is free and will take place on Wednesday 22 February, 10am till 4pm  at One Pool Street on the UCL East Campus.
