Warwick Business Graduates In Great Demand
The
University of Warwick's status among employers has risen further, according to
a recent survey.
Figures
published today show that graduates from Warwick Business School are
being snapped up by blue chip firms.
The
poll of employers’ favoured universities placed Warwick second to
Manchester University for recruiting students into business
management.
University
spokesman Peter Dunn said the figures moved Warwick up one place from
last year’s table to its highest-ever position.
He
said the annual Graduate Recruiters Survey put the university into a
“virtuous circle”.
Mr
Dunn said:
“Nowadays
students are a lot more concerned about what kind of job they are
going to get when they leave university.
“They
see things like this and it makes them want to come to Warwick as
they will be able to go into a highly-paid job with a blue chip
firm.”
More
than 3,300 students from 70 different countries are on the 17
different degree courses run by the Business School.
Mr
Dunn said the news would also help attract employers to fund the
Business School.
He
said:
“It
already attracts £3.5 million a year, but if the employers see that
the best graduates are coming from Warwick then they are more likely
to take an interest in them.”
Universities
that came behind Warwick in the poll included Cambridge, Oxford, LSE
and Birmingham.
