Hi, I have a question about how the students earn job opportunity.
As guidance for applicants, British MBA has only 1 year contrasts to 2 years in US.
Which means the students have less time to job hunting, right?
I wonder how Warwick supports us for that, and how much can I expand my work opportunity.

For example, can I change job industry with no experience in it with good salary?
And I also would like to know how much students work other country they born.

I would like to see your opinion, thank you :blushing:

Hi Madeinjapan,

I'd encourage you to talk to recent students and alumni of Warwick MBA. To get a better view, talk to two categories of people- 1. anyone who has done/ is doing the W. MBA, 2. People from your country who are at Warwick. LinkedIN will be a great place to start building this network. 
You should ask them questions about:
1. how the b-school supports students in their job search.
2. which of your target companies recruit Warwick MBAs?
3. Do your target companies sponsor visas of MBA students?
4. Which locations are Warwick MBAs able to find jobs in (they'd be competing with other b-school students from London, Cambridge, Oxford, Manchester and serveral other regional MBA programs).
Having these conversations with people who have been through the process recently will give you the real picture. I say this specifically because the British economy has not been at its top, to put it mildly, and you should take an informed decision about the b-school where you plan to study. Warwick is somewhat regional, so this matters more in the present economic setup.  Also, you should apply to 4-6 MBA programs so that you are able to choose the right MBA for yourself once you have several admits at the end of the application cycle.

I will address two of your questions - most people do an MBA to pivot in their career. So an industry change is justifiable. That said, you should be able to transfer some knowledge/ skills/ experience from your past work experience to your desired career goal.  If you want to break into a new field where none of your past personal or professional experience will be needed, then your career goals can come across as questionable. (just as an example - if you have done no volunteering in your personal or professional life and say in your MBA application that you want to work in impact consulting post-MBA, then your goals will not sound believable. SO it will be important for you to make some connections in what you have done in the past and what you plan to do in the future.
Second- b-schools absolutely welcome international students as these students are able to add to the classroom learning and to b-school community because of their varied backgrounds and perspectives. Think of this as your strength rather than an area to worry about.
