Where Have Our Alumni Worked

Work Placements

Our dedicated Employer Engagement Team plays a key role in connecting GBS students with meaningful career opportunities. By working closely with a wide range of industry partners, the team ensures students have access to placements and job opportunities that reflect real-world demands. They actively collaborate with employers to align opportunities with our students’ career goals, helping to turn practical experience into long-term employment. 

Volunteering

Volunteering opportunities are very common and are accessible no matter where you live. Charities and social enterprises across the UK are always in need of volunteers to support them in delivering their services and working towards their goals.

What We Offer

  • Part-time and full-time work placements to suit your academic schedule
  • Remote and hybrid opportunities for flexibility
  • Short-term volunteering roles to build your CV and skillset
  • Long-term work experience that often lead to job offers
  • Support throughout your placement, including CV workshops and interview coaching

Over 67% of our students who complete work placements go on to secure professional-level roles. Whether it’s through a structured placement, a flexible volunteer role, or an industry project, our goal is the same: helping you become career-ready, confident, and competitive in the job market.
