Year 12 students had the exciting opportunity to have an informative talk from Dr. Elizabeth Babafemi, senior lecturer from the University of Hertfordshire. 

As one of the largest, most progressive business schools in the UK, Hertfordshire Business School offers several degrees including accounting, business analytics and systems, economics, human resources, marketing, strategy and tourism, hospitality and events management.

The session highlighted the diverse range of careers available to business graduates, from finance and marketing to entrepreneurship and management but also focused on how a business degree equips students with essential skills such as strategic thinking, leadership, and problem-solving, which are highly valued across various industries.

Students also learned about the university’s strong industry connections and the practical experiences offered through internships and work placements, which significantly enhance employability. The talk concluded with a Q&A session, allowing students to ask specific questions and gain further clarity on their career aspirations.

This engaging session has undoubtedly inspired many of our year 12 students to consider the exciting possibilities that a business degree can offer. We extend our thanks to the University of Hertfordshire for their valuable contribution to our students' career planning.
