Luke Hughes on tailoring your degree to suit your career aims

Luke Hughes graduated from Brighton Business School with a degree in Business Management with Marketing in 2011.

“I am proud to be a Brighton Business School Graduate because what I learnt during my time at Brighton was very hands on and relevant to all areas of business allowing me to use the knowledge I had gained in every position moving forward since.”

“The ability to tailor my degree even at the end of a marketing focused degree to a finance focused degree allowed me the opportunity to move into a graduate scheme with OSTC, the largest proprietary trading company in the UK. This flexibility along with the supporting supplementary courses and opportunities such as the OSTC Trading Competition, Momentum Mentoring Scheme and sports and social clubs allowed me to develop into someone who companies found attractive to hire, not just someone with a degree and a lack of experience or skills.”
