UCMK applications at an all-time high we are looking forward to doubling our numbers in 2016, because at the end of the main cycle UCAS applications for UCMK courses are up by 100% on 2014/15. Undergraduate qualifications in Events Marketing and Management, and Human Resource Management are particularly popular. Both courses include a placement in industry as a core element of the course, ensuring that students will leave UCMK with all the skills they need to find graduate employment.
Students engaging with industry... On wednesday 24 february, our students had the chance to see what the Milton Keynes technology sector had to offer when we hosted the graduate and Technology fair at Saxon Court. Corporate and SME exhibitors showcased their work and connected with students to share internships, placements and graduate job opportunities. There was also plenty of networking potential, as we had graduates, MK schools, business colleagues and city residents attending.
UCMK celebrates Autumn graduations The families of 150 graduates glowed with pride as UCMK held its Autumn graduation ceremonies at The Church of Christ the Cornerstone, including students from the University of Bedfordshire’s regional partner colleges. In the morning students graduated from a wide range of subject areas on courses ranging from Engineering Business Management to Journalism, while the afternoon was reserved for our teacher training graduates. Attended by numerous dignitaries, including the Mayor of Milton Keynes and our Vice Chancellor, the event was an important opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our graduates. In 2016 we look forward to awarding degrees to graduates whose entire Bachelors’ degree were taught at UCMK. See more pictures from the graduation: unibeds.info/ucmk-grad
