Next up in our 'What to do with a degree in...' series — inspired by the Guardian Work features of the same name — we are going to be exploring business studies in our live Q&A.

When The Apprentice and Dragons' Den hit our TV screens, business studies raced up the most studied courses lists and it's currently the thirteenth most popular option in UCAS' course choice tables.

If you are thinking about studying business — perhaps you already have — or maybe you graduated a while ago and want to explore some new options, we are bringing together a panel of experts and industry insiders to offer advice and share experiences from their own careers.

Steve Thompson, senior careers adviser, Aston University Careers and Employability Centre. Steve is link careers adviser with undergraduates in Aston Business School.

Angela Edkins, MBA careers adviser, Aston Business School. Angela has experience in advising and supporting students in university, post- 16 schools and colleges.

Irene Aitkenhead Taylor, career and corporate development manager, University of Strathclyde Business School. Irene's area of expertise is in business postgraduate and post-experience MBAs.

Joanne Lumb, corporate development and operations manager, Global Talent Centre, Leeds University Business School.
