Student pathways into business
Business and commercial roles span almost every industry — from retail and FMCG to media, logistics, and manufacturing. Many large UK employers run structured commercial graduate schemes covering areas like operations, strategy, general management, and procurement. Internships and summer placements are the primary route into graduate schemes at these companies. Year-in-industry placements (sandwich years) provide 12 months of paid work experience and are offered by many UK employers across sectors. These are particularly valuable for building practical skills and often lead directly to a graduate offer. School leaver programmes in business administration and commercial management are also available, offering an alternative to the university route.
