Graduate Placements

In recent years, our PhD graduates have joined leading universities, research centres and institutions such as Tsinghua University, Copenhagen Business School, the Bank of England, Credit Suisse, the European Securities and Market Authority, JP Morgan, HSBC and Renmin University in China.

The doctoral programme has been re-structured in recent years to focus on academic development and it is anticipated that upcoming placements will focus more on academia than industry.
