Our graduates have gone on to careers in a variety of organisations around the world and many alumni are entrepreneurs who have established their own businesses. Students have secured placements with companies including: Nissan, Caterpillar, Fujitsu, Network Rail and White Lodging Services, as well as small entrepreneurial firms in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
