On February 19, 2025, the School of Business and Management (SBM) at Queen Mary University of London hosted its annual SBM Career Insight event at the historic Octagon. The event, designed for first-year undergraduate students, provided an invaluable opportunity to connect with top employers and explore career pathways.
Esteemed employers in attendance included Enterprise, Ernst & Young (EY), ICAEW, Our Elba, and PwC, alongside Queen Mary’s Careers Team, Student Employability Opportunities Team, and the Queen Mary Students' Union.
