The School of Management Careers team provides bespoke and exclusive careers support for SoM students. The eam includes Careers Consultants, who provide careers coaching and guidance via 1:1s and group workshops, and our Employer Engagement Officers, who facilitate connections with employers and alumni both in the UK and globally via bespoke employer event programmes, including skill sessions, networking events and mentoring. We also have an Asia-Pacific Senior Careers Officer who provides dediated support to students looking to work or live in the Asia-Pacific region after their studies. All of these activities provide an essential complement to our academic programmes, enabling us to best prepare our students for their future careers and support them to identify and achieve their goals.
Plenary Sessions
Plenary sessions and workshops are delivered both in person and online (via Zoom). We run skill sessions, networking events, industry-themed talks and much more to enable students to meet potential employers and to hear from employers and alumni. Our global alumni network is a big part of our employer events, offering top tips on how students can make the most of their time at UCL School of Management and set themselves up for career success. Our team also run talks and workshops exploring career pathways and preparing students for success from initial career planning right through the application and recruitment process.
For our postgraduate students, these sessions make up their Careers and Professional Development Programme, which takes place in timetabled slots throughout the Autumn and Spring terms. Postgraduate students also benefit from our Industry Connection Clubs on themes including Sustainability, Business Analytics and China, which are run by students with Careers team support, as well as a dedicated Pre-Arrival Programme, to support them to get a head-start on their careers thinking so they’re ready to hit the ground running when they begin their Master’s programme.
