Hi,
I would really like to attend this course but have MBA classes at this time. Can you tell me whether a link will be published so that I can look at it after the classes take place?
Many thanks
Sam
Hi Sam,
If a session is online, we always ask the group if it’s okay to record it at the start of the session. Usually, this is okay with everyone, but we can’t guarantee it will be recorded. I would contact the employability team directly to let them know you would like access to a recording. Their email address is: nubs.employability@newcastle.ac.uk.
Thanks
Rosie
