London Business School sees MiM graduate employment rate rise
The employment rate for graduates of the 2011 Masters in Management (MiM) programme run by London Business School has risen on last year, according to the School's latest employment report.
While a rate of 95% was recorded among last year's class of 100, the 2011 class of 140 has achieved a rate of 96% - these figures are based on the full-time employment status of students three months after they originally graduate from the course.
Compared to the median salary among graduates in the UK as a whole, the wages of London Business School graduates of this year's MiM course are around £9,500 higher at £35,000.
Breaking down the statistics further, there was a total of 36 corporate sector recruiters, perhaps giving the strongest indication yet of the value of the MiM course across sectors outside of the normal consulting and finance fields. In addition, a grand sum of 22 different recruiters have hired from the programme consistently (i.e. at least one student from each of the last two years).
The release of the 2011 MiM job statistics follows the publication of the School's MBA employment report last week. It found that within three months of leaving this course, 93% of MBA graduates had found a job.
Fiona Sandford, Director, Career Services, London Business School, explained: “I am delighted to report that with an even bigger class than last year, the employment rate increased to 96% of students who had secured employment within three months of graduation.
“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.”
