Welcome to Summer Term!

It's Summer! 10 weeks of sun, 10 weeks of warmth and 10 weeks of freedom from lectures. To try distract you from those minor, little exam things you've got going on, we've got another fantastic line-up for you and I'm not just saying that because I'm President - we've got The Artist, The Woman In Black, A Dangerous Method, The Hunger Games amongst many others. If you still don't believe me, check out the Summer 2012 schedule!

Summer Term does mean something else of course - The Outdoor Screening! We're going to be showing the amazing How to Train Your Dragon on 27th June on Tocil field. Don't worry, we will be plugging this superb event nearer the time, but keep a space in your diary!

Anyway, welcome to back to uni, welcome back to WSC and welcome to Summer Term!

Want free films for yourself and a guest?

Yes, that's right! Get involved with Warwick Student Cinema and you and a guest may come to as many of our standard screenings as you want for free, whilst you continue to be involved.

What's the catch then? There is obviously a minimum commitment required but it isn't much: a few reviews every term or stewarding once a fortnight for example. Beyond that, there are plenty of additional opportunities available if you're interested but it is really up to you.

What can I do then? Well, that's entirely up to you but we like to think there is something for everyone, be it stewarding films, training as a projectionist, helping to design our new website or writing a review of one of next term's films to be included in our programming booklet. Have a browse around the Get Involved section of our website, send us an email at info@filmsoc.warwick.ac.uk or just say hello to one of the front of house staff before or after a screening to find out more about the different roles.

Why should I do it? Persuade me! The simple answer is that we need you. The society cannot function without the volunteers who help keep everything running smoothly, so the rest of our members can come and see the film in the knowledge that they will have a great time.

But, what's in it for me? Aside from the free films, you will be part of a society that will help develop your transferable skills as well as increasing your attractiveness to employers. And that's not forgetting our regular socials.

So, what do I do next? Your best bet is send an email to info@filmsoc.warwick.ac.uk or just say hello before a screening and we'll tell you how best to proceed from there.

KPMG proudly sponsor Warwick Student Cinema

At KPMG, the people make the place. And what's that place like exactly? In short, it's one where everyone feels valued, and hard work is recognised and rewarded.

What's more, our firm is growing. Since a number of European firms merged to form KPMG Europe LLP, we've become the largest fully-integrated accountancy firm in, offering Audit, Tax and Advisory services to everyone from oil companies to music gurus.

But it’s not just what KPMG does that's important. It's the way that we do it. The values don’t just live on a wall. They’re a way of life, underpinning the way we work with clients and with each other.

So what can you look forward to at KPMG? Exposure to clients from day one. Working on challenging projects. And if you're studying for a professional qualification, there's a fantastic support network that includes a mentor and generous study leave.

Despite the focus on qualifications, it's not all work and no play. Whether it's joining societies and sports teams or enjoying volunteering days, free lunches and secondment opportunities, KPMG is a fantastic place to start your career.
