A Year to go: Brexit and Beyond

With just under a year to go until the UK leaves the EU, and trade negotiations between Westminster and Brussels gathering pace, the University’s Business and Law Schools are jointly hosting a breakfast event to provide business and organisations with perspectives from a country both in Europe but flourishing outside the EU.

We are delighted to be hosting a high level speaker Minister François Voeffray, Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of Switzerland. The event will welcome leading academics, business leaders/advisers and interested students. You will also be invited to engage in the debate through the Q&A session.
