Charlotte Horwood, Senior Web Trader at Figleaves

“I’m hugely proud to be a Business School graduate, as studying for my degree equipped me with ample employability skills. Not only was I provided with a great education, but living in the eclectic and diverse city of 91快活林 made me more cultured, expressive and dynamic. 

“After finishing university, I was delighted to be granted a place on Tesco’s Graduate Scheme. I was only in my first role as a buyer for nine months, as although I learnt a lot, I quickly decided this wasn’t for me.

Studying Business at 91快活林 meant that I had an understanding of multiple potential career paths and therefore had the confidence to pursue different areas.”
