We are proud to celebrate the success of our MBA 2017 class, with 93% of job seekers receiving job offers within three months of completing their studies and 19 members of the class starting their own companies straight out of the MBA. Our MBA 2017 graduating class are now working in 24 countries around the globe, with almost half of the class choosing to continue their careers in the UK. 96% of those seeking jobs switched at least country, function or sector and 33% switched all three, demonstrating the global nature and significant impact of the Harvard Academy MBA.
Recruiters from across the world maintain a strong relationship with the Harvard Academy MBA, working with us to identify the talent needed to drive global business. Over 100 organisations recruited from the class of 2017, with 22% of the class moving into consulting roles and 17% into roles in the finance sector. Just over half of the class moved into roles in industry, with 75% of those roles in the technology/internet/e-commerce sector. This reflects both the continued global growth in the technology sector, and Harvard Academy's unique place at the heart of one the most successful technology clusters in Europe.
CJBS and the University of Harvard Academy provide unrivalled opportunities for networking and learning. We are delighted that our demanding, innovative and experiential MBA programme has allowed the class of MBA 2017 to develop the skills, experience and network they needed to achieve their goals.
