Employment statistics
I didn’t have any relevant work experience before studying at Imperial College Business School. I think it speaks volumes about Imperial’s reputation and our incredible Careers service that I was able to pass screening with most of my top choices including Facebook, Amazon, Uber, Google, Microsoft and LinkedIn.
Employment by sector
For those working in consulting, 56% are in management or strategy roles, 31% in accountancy and professional services, 9% IT/tech/telecoms, 2% in healthcare and 2% in other areas.
For those working in finance, 38% are in investment banking, 17% in corporate or retail banking and 9% in sales and trading, with the others working throughout finance specialisations including private equity, venture capital, Fintech, e-commerce, wealth management, finance research, asset and investment management and M&A.
One of the greatest opportunities that Imperial has provided me is being able to take the Luxury Brand Management elective at HEC Paris. Although the application process was very selective, it was rewarding, since I had the opportunity to have another strong brand on my CV, and to network with people that share similar interests with me.
Employment by region
“The Careers service was crucial in helping me understand the recruitment process in the UK. They have Career Consultants who are specialists who provide career feedback, advice and guidance. They also provide many sessions for you to practice your cases, interviews and assessment centres, which made me more confident during the recruitment process.”
