You are here: Management | Career development | MBA students
Some MBA students view the course as an opportunity to change career direction. Others see it as a time to consolidate experience and return to a previous industry or job. Whatever your reason for joining the programme it is a wonderful opportunity to reassess priorities, think about what you enjoy doing and take positive action to manage your career.
Bradford will provide the support and resources you will need. We have a dedicated careers support on site, plus a wealth of resource at the Careers Service on the main University of Bradford campus.
The school invites employers and recruiters to post vacancies on the job opportunities board. These opportunities may be aimed at experienced hires with an MBA or provide entry level or early career opportunities for MSc students.

These are designed to help you to identify your career options, realise your potential and become an effective job seeker.
