We place 3rd in the UK for graduate careers support and graduate employment
One-to-one meetings with the Business School Postgraduate Careers team made a real impact for me. Having the chance to sit down, talk through my options, and get tailored advice gave me the clarity and the skills I needed to move forward. I gained tailored job search resources, support with applications and interview preparation. They supported me with job offer negotiation which helped me gain a job offer in the UK.

Career progression
The Postgraduate Careers team support was both practical and personal. The one-to-one meetings gave me personalised guidance and really helped me refine my interview answers with clear, constructive feedback. They also connected me with alumni who shared their own experiences and advice, which gave me a much better understanding of what to expect and how to prepare. Having access to both coaching and tailored resources meant I could approach applications with more confidence. With this support I was able to secure an operational management role with a global company in the UK.
