In Pictures: UAL Trip to Asia, May 2023

This May, UAL had a tour of South East Asia, hosting alumni events in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, and Seoul.

James Purnell, UAL's President, and Vice-Chancellor spoke at the events to welcome alumni back for the first time in over 3 years.

We also heard from the amazing alumni who have been running local networks in the regions, as well as welcoming many recent graduates to our events for the first time.
