They secure roles with leading global organisations, leveraging the knowledge, networks, and confidence they have built in the UK. Through face-to-face networking with employers and alumni across multiple sectors, they gain invaluable insights and opportunities, with 68 per cent securing careers in Finance, Consulting, Tech, and Consumer Goods & Retail.

Ranj Johal Relationship Manager, Employer Relations
It’s truly inspiring to witness the remarkable journey of our MSc graduates. The opportunity to help these accomplished individuals achieve their goals and set them on rewarding career paths is incredibly fulfilling. I’m so proud of the diverse and impactful roles our alumni go on to pursue. It’s particularly heart-warming to guide those who modestly underplay their accomplishments, helping them articulate and fully appreciate their own value. While the immediate impact of career coaching isn’t always visible, there’s nothing quite as touching as receiving a note months later, expressing gratitude for the support and encouragement
Helping students achieve their career aspirations is the most rewarding part of my role. It’s inspiring to see the incredible positions our students secure across a diverse range of industries. I’m continually impressed by their ambition, resilience, and the positive impact they go on to make in the world. Being part of WBS students’ journeys as they grow into confident professionals is a privilege for me, and knowing our support has played a role in their success is what makes this work so fulfilling.”
