Career and alumni network
RSM graduates are in high demand in the international business world. The MSc Employment Report from last year’s graduates shows that over 90 per cent of them was employed within 6 months after graduation, or even during their studies. The report specifies the average starting salary per MSc programme, as well as the top employers, industries and countries of employment.
The MSc graduates are now part of RSM’s extensive alumni network with more than 50,000 alumni, which brings opportunities for lifelong learning, professional development and social connections. RSM alumni stay connected to each other and to RSM’s academics and students through global events, local chapters, continued education opportunities, Think.Do. magazine and many other ways.
