A head start
Recruiters recognise the extra value that a graduate brings to an organisation, such as motivation and commitment, time management, intellectual acumen, flexibility and of course, future potential.
In addition to academic success, it is important graduates use their time at university productively, making the most of the extra-curricular opportunities available, in order to stand out from the competition and secure their perfect job.
A degree from Warwick Business School carries considerable weight in the business world. The major firms are often visitors to WBS where they sometimes contribute to the teaching, and talent-spot potential recruits.
Forecasts for the graduate job market are looking good according to www.prospects.ac.uk. Average starting salary offered to 2008 graduates was &24,000 with a year-on-year rise of 12 percent in graduate vacancies.
The majority of WBS graduates join large multinational organisations, with almost half entering careers related to finance. The next most popular business function is sales & marketing, with management consultancy, IT, and human resources well represented.
With an excellent degree, networking and work experience opportunities, careers events, over 100 employer visits each year, and specialist advice, it's no surprise that Warwick graduates find employment easily.
