Ninety-five per cent of this year’s Masters in Management (MiM)
graduates from London Business School secured employment within three
months of completing the programme, according to figures released today.
London
Business School’s MiM 2012 Employment Report, published today, shows
that even in an increasingly crowded job market, the class of 2012 – the
School’s largest to date – stood out from the crowd.
Of the
diverse class, which comprised 144 students from 38 countries, an
impressive 40% took up roles in the highly competitive consulting sector
– a consistent trend for the School. 32% went into finance and 28% took
up posts in the corporate sector, with media and entertainment the most
popular destination attracting 10% of graduates.
The best paid
graduates were earning £68,937, with the average salary being £33,000,
74% higher than the Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA) average
for first degree graduates*.
Fiona Sandford, Executive Director,
Careers and Global Business, explained the School’s success: “We work
closely with employers, alumni and the wider School to equip our Masters
in Management graduates with the leadership skills, business knowledge
and global perspective to excel.
“MiM graduates have also
benefited from exposure to potential employers through our dedicated
career week and workshops. 70% of this year’s graduates met their
employers through London Business School’s Career Services, alumni or
networking and club events.”
More information, including details
of the locations and sectors graduates have been employed in, and a list
of their 84 recruiters can be found

London
Business School’s presence in the international market has grown as a
result of its new ‘Global Immersion Trip’ in partnership with Stockholm
School of Economics. The School, which already partners with IE Business
School in Madrid, also looks forward to adding two more trips to
Brussels and Paris this academic year.
