SOAS Alumni

OpenAir.fm has joined up with the Alumni Team at SOAS to produce a series of Alumni Podcasts. The series will ask alumni about their career and time at SOAS. It is hoped that this will provide current students, potential students and recent graduates with a mentoring tool, helping them to realise their ambitions and to follow in the footsteps of SOAS' unique body of alumni.
