Future programme

Our Future Programme

Ambition is at the centre of our courses. We show you how to build on your successes at each stage of your degree - from your first year through to graduation.

Your first year

At Kent Business School, you’ll quickly start to build your professional identity and set a clear timeline for your career aspirations. 

Using our industry links, we'll show you what graduate recruiters are looking for and how to secure an elite business job. And in recognition of the business professional you're becoming, you'll develop a CV that will help you to get ahead and kick-start your career.

Your second year

The focus is now on getting a job after you graduate. We will help you to secure work experience through placements, virtual internships and experiences, and the University’s award-winning Employability Points scheme. 

Whatever your ambitions, you'll learn how to compete and win when applying for graduate jobs. You'll practise all stages of the recruitment process, from applications and psychometric tests to virtual job interviews and assessment centres. By building real-world experience into your degree, we prepare you to get the role you want. 

What can you do in a year?

Real-world experiences

If you take a placement year - and we advise that you do - you will have the opportunity to further develop your business and employability skills whilst earning a salary in a business and making the key connections to expand your network. Many employers offer placements and internships to Kent Business School students each year, so you can get your foot in the door at the companies people dream of working for. You can use your placement year to launch your own start up enterprise under supported by ASPIRE’s entrepreneurial staff.

Your final year

This is it. The culmination of all your hard work. We will help you to reach your potential and develop lifelong career management skills.

Your knowledge and skills will be in demand from graduate employers. And as you thrive in your career, this demand will only increase. But even when you are forging your own path, you wont have to do it alone. The University’s Careers and Employability Service will continue to support you for up to three years after graduation. 

Not only will you have the University's support, but you join the network of KBS alumni across leading global institutions, giving your key connections to help you get ahead.

Whatever you want to do, we are your first step to getting there.
