The benefits of membership

Being part of our ever-growing Alumni Association friends and contacts network, provides a number of benefits to its members.

As well as being able to take advantage of a range of graduate services offered by the University, members have access to a directory for this growing community, enabling you to re-connect with old friends and access a ready-made network of potential professional contacts. We help our members re-connect and network through our Annual Reunion hosted by the University as well as other local alumni gatherings across the UK.(Details of which can be found in the Events section of this website, and The Cestrian magazine, together with photos of the events.)

We also like to look after our members. We have set-up a number of partnerships with businesses with the express aim of providing discounts and deals to our members. These include deals and discounts on family days out, shopping experiences, travel and dining.

To experience these benefits for yourself, you simply have to register your name and contact details with the University on the Members Directory page..
