Our services

We have a range of simple ways to attract students and our alumni to your business and help you find the right candidates for your vacancies.

Advertise a position - permanent, temporary and internship

We're here to help you recruit talented and capable leaders to transform your organisation. Simply email us with all the details of your vacancy and the type of students you are seeking, and we will do the rest. As well as permanent roles, our candidates are also available for temporary roles and summer internships.

Offer a student project

Sometimes, employers use the Consultancy Challenge and Capstone Challenge projects to introduce their companies to students as a precursor to considering a more permanent role. The arrangement gives each party an excellent opportunity to assess suitability, fit, cultural match and career potential. Many students have received full-time offers of work from their sponsor organisations following a successful project.

Being in a position to offer a job following a project is not a prerequisite for sponsoring a student team; all that is required is an interesting brief requiring consultancy by master's-level students who already have at least three years' work experience.

Campus presentations/interviews

One of the most effective ways to encourage applications is to visit the Lancaster campus and present information on your career opportunities. You can choose to host a short networking drinks or buffet reception afterwards. We also have suitable facilities available for you to interview on campus to help you make the most of your visit. Alternatively, we can host presentations and interviews online or coordinate activities in London when our students visit.

Workshops and guest lectures

Participating in a careers or skills workshop or contributing to a guest lecture is a proven way of raising your company's profile, and at the same time, you know that you're providing tangible benefits to our students. We can arrange practical employer-led workshops for our students on CV writing, interview techniques, assessment centres, online applications, presentation skills and many other topics.

Recruiting international graduates

The government recognises the value of UK degree-educated talent and has implemented dispensations for employing our graduates, making it easy to recruit from Lancaster University Management School.

Post-study work

Graduates can apply for a two or three-year Graduate visa after successfully completing their course, depending on the level of qualification obtained.

We recommend that employers always refer to the Government's current immigration advice for the latest information.
