Career success

Our students will graduate with the necessary transferable skills to succeed in their careers, so it is no coincidence that Queen Mary graduates are consistently in the top 10 for graduate starting salaries in the UK (The Sunday Times University Guide 2012). 

Our unique location between the City and Docklands means that some of the biggest companies in the world are located just a stone’s throw away from campus. The quality of Queen Mary’s students is well known to many blue-chip companies who advertise their training places with us as a result.

Queen Mary students graduate with a new and open way of thinking and our degrees enable our graduates to achieve positions of importance; from the pulsating world of finance to positions of prominence in law and medicine, our graduates experience success quickly.

In addition to the careers advice our students receive from their academic tutors (many of whom will have links with employers themselves), our experienced Careers Team provide invaluable training on CV writing, interviews and tackling Assessment Centres. With over 1500 on-campus jobs and volunteer roles available through the Careers Team, our students are given the opportunity to build skills and work experience (and earn money!) alongside their studies.
