The 2026 edition of the Alumni Magazine is almost here. To make sure you don’t miss out, take a moment now to update your details and preferences.

You can opt in for the digital format and enjoy it wherever you are, or continue receiving a printed copy if you prefer.

We are inviting alumni to update their contact details as part of our commitment to the environment, while still happily providing hard‑copy magazines for those who love reading in print.

Warm regards
