Committee Applications 2016/17
The Bristol Consulting Society is now recruiting for the 2016/17 committee!
BCS is one of the fastest growing and most innovative societies in the University, and have been nominated two years in a row for ‘University Society of the Year’ at the NUE Awards, winning the category in 2015. We want to carry this success forward and improve in the upcoming year, and need a team of dedicated committee members to make this happen. We have five positions open, and welcome applications from people of all experiences and backgrounds.
As a member of the committee, you’ll have the opportunity to network with top consulting firms and gain invaluable experience in teamwork, leadership and organisation.

Here’s an overview of the open positions:

The Project Directors are responsible for co-ordinating these projects, with tasks including:
The project directors work separately to source and manage their own 3 projects, and work together to arrange events like the midway event & project presentations. Project Directors will be selected separately so please apply on your own.
