Careers Service

International students

I chose to study at The University of Manchester owing to its leading reputation and its location in a great city. With a highly respectable degree and the strong personal development I gained at Manchester, I joined HSBC after I graduated. I am now working as a Business Development Officer for Stephenson Harwood & Lo. in China.
