The School’s MBA employment report, published today, shows an increase in the number of MBA graduates who have secured full-time employment.
This follows news that the number of MBA2012 students undertaking summer internships hit 100%. The percentage of 2011 alumni securing employment three months after graduation has increased to 93%, up from 91% in 2010.
This year’s employment report shows that there was a fairly even split in sector choice, with 36% of our 2011 MBA graduates finding employment in consulting, 34% in finance and 30% in other corporate sectors.
More information, including details of which locations and sectors the School’s graduates have ended up in, is available here.
The School’s Career Services team has worked hard to maintain relationships with recruiters and keep them coming onto campus, in a difficult climate.
Fiona Sandford, Career Services Director, says: “For the first time, Career Services created sector-specific CV books, making it even easier for recruiters in some of the major sectors to find the talent that they need.
“This was part of a new initiative called ‘Spring into Action’, where every Masters in Finance, Masters in Management and graduating MBA was offered a dedicated ‘advocate’ from within the Career Services team, who worked closely with them to provide support tailored to their needs.”
“The team is working more closely than ever with student clubs, including supporting a growing number of career treks. The treks to Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore have contributed to the increase of graduates finding roles in Asia, 11% compared to 7% in 2010. This region continues to be a focus for the School and the Career Services team.”
