This report card gives you an overview of what Careers and Business
Relations (CBR) has done for students in the Business &
Management faculty in the first quarter of 2011.
What are Students Looking for?
When they register to work with us, we ask our students for
their four main target employment sectors. This influences how we
target employers.

What Does this Mean
This means that we’re offering a mix of vacancies mostly in sync
with what our students are looking for. Yet, we will have to do
some more business development to source more vacancies in fashion
& design. Also, it shows that many charities are still looking
for volunteers – probably a feature of the current cuts in
funding.
Vacancy Types Offered
The total number of positions offered were 122; these ranged
from full-time employment to voluntary roles.

How successful are Regent's College London Graduates in Finding
Employment?
The Business & Management (BAM) graduate student survey was
conducted in the second half of 2010, and has been supplemented by
desk research.
399 Regent's College London BAM students were surveyed, and
14,155 BAM students from UK public sector universities were
surveyed. Based on this, the consolidated figures are as
follows:

What Does This Mean?
This means that EBSL and RBSL students who graduated in November
2009 where on average significantly more likely to be in employment
6 six months after graduation than their peers from public sector
universities on similar courses.
This is a significant success, as this cohort was the one strongest
hit by the economic downturn. Yet, it is still behind what we used
to achieve during boom times - and our response rates are still too
low. Surveys for Webster, RACL and SPCP are ongoing and results
should be available over the summer.
