Why I applied...

After finishing my Master’s degree at Warwick, I knew I wanted to stay in an academic environment yet build my links with industry. The WMG Graduate Development Programme offered that and was completely unique. When I met with scheme managers, I was really impressed to learn how rapidly WMG is expanding and the impressive ground-breaking research projects the organisation is working on.

My highlights...

I really enjoyed my first placement. It provided me with so much opportunity to learn as well as freedom to implement my own ideas. I was well supported by managers, supervisors and colleagues in an environment where everyone wants to support your development as a graduate.

My development...

I have been provided with an amazing opportunity to extend my professional network and build valuable contacts for the future. I have developed my management skills and have recently completed Project Planning, Management and Control qualification. I believe the best part of the scheme is being able to develop your knowledge and experience in a variety of areas in the first year of the programme. I would advise anyone reading this to apply for the WMG Graduate Development Programme immediately!
