We are committed to preparing students to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge, understanding of industry, self-reflective skills and professional attitudes to be employable graduates.
We take great pride in giving students the tools to prepare for the world of work with the necessary academic knowledge, industry exposure and those all-important transferable skills. ARU London students are challenged to develop their work ethic, tune their analytical and problem-solving abilities and make their ambitions a reality.
Research suggests that employers find that many UK graduates are not yet ready for the world of graduate work. With this in mind, all of our undergraduate degree courses include modules that help to build upon vital attributes for student and graduate employability. Our courses are also designed closely with key employers to align with the needs and opportunity gaps in their industries.
Our scheduling of lectures and tutorials optimises the chance of meaningful part-time work. A part-time (voluntary) job in the right sector can help hone your understanding of business and help develop the graduate skills employers want to see upon graduation.
