Dhimant (Computer Science BSc) and Myint (Computing and Information Technology BSc) attended an Allianz insight event in September – Technology Innovation for the Future- where is it going? This event was the first of its kind with Allianz. Here is what they had to say!

Meeting the Allianz team

After being shown around the office and meeting the other companies that were also there that day, we were shown our stand. Over the day around 200 internal employees and the exec board came around to speak to us.

We showcased the app we had designed for the Career and Placement fair as well as talked about a hackathon we took part in with the computer science society. We were invited to take part in team building games and watch the charity event of throwing pies at the exec board, which was very fun and interactive.

Takeaways from the event

It was a great opportunity to make industry contacts, hear what the industry is working on in the sector, and ask questions. We would have not thought about consultancy as a career given our degrees, but we are now both excited and open to the idea.

The benefits of attending the insight event

This was a fantastic opportunity to be a part of. It has opened our minds to the world of work. The advice we received, we put it into practice and hasn’t failed us yet when applying for placements. If you get the chance to attend an event like this, we would highly recommend it.
