The British Council hosts 'Alumni UK' a global network that connects UK Alumni (people who have studied in or with the UK as an overseas student) from around the world. Registering with Alumni UK allows you to expand your international network, exchange information with other UK Alumni that can help you in your career development, and access exclusive events for skills and career development. In addition to online opportunities, the British Council in Japan periodically organises in-person events for UK Alumni based in Japan.
Alumni UK is collaborating with Robert Walters Japan, a global specialist recruitment agency with headquarters in London, to co-host a special talk event focusing on career development after returning from studying with a UK higher education institution. At this event, professionals who have studied with a UK university on a MBA or Postgraduate programme will talk about their career choices, why they chose to study for an MBA/Postgraduate qualification, and how they have utilised their experience in their careers after returning to Japan.
*This talk event will be delivered in Japanese with no English language interpretation.
Recommended for:
- Those considering pursuing an MBA or master's degree in the UK or abroad.
- Those currently enrolled in an MBA or graduate programme and looking to develop their career strategy.
- Those seeking to explore their next career move from a global perspective.
- Those interested in networking with other high-level professionals.
This is a valuable opportunity to hear from a distinguished panel of speakers, all of whom have completed an UK MBA/Postgraduate programme, about their real-life career paths and what they gained from their MBA/Masters qualification and beyond. There will also provide time for networking among participants and with the speakers, offering insights and connections to help you consider your future career. In-person participation is limited to 30 participants, so please register early!
