We’re very pleased to share the latest issue of our Alumni Magazine with you.
In the 2026 edition you can see what your classmates are up to now, find out where to watch some of your most famous fellow alumni – including Anton Lesser and Anna Maxwell Martin – and play our online, University-themed crossword.
Before you take some time out of your day to reconnect with your alma mater, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to the 650 of you (650!) who shared your updates with us in Class Notes. The whole team loves reading about where life after your degree took you and we hope you enjoy browsing your classmates’ updates as much as we have. And if you missed out on sharing your update this year, we’ll be in touch in 2027 with the chance to submit.
So enjoy and remember, we’re always looking for ways to connect with you. If you want to help us improve future editions, you can let us know your thoughts about the magazine via our short survey. Or we’d love to see you on campus or online at one of our events soon.
