5 Ways Walbrook Offers Career Support To Students

Kickstart your career at Walbrook Institute London

When you're choosing where to study, you're not just thinking about modules and deadlines, you're thinking about your future.

At Walbrook, we believe your future career shouldn’t start after graduation, it should start from day one. Whether you are changing direction, upskilling, or aiming for a promotion, we’ve designed our degrees and support services to help you move forward with confidence.

Here are five ways Walbrook supports your career right from the moment you start with us.

1. Career-focused courses built around real-world skills

We don’t offer generic learning. Every degree we provide – either online, or on-campus – is designed around the skills employers actually want and need in today's job market. We’ve launched programmes in areas which are in high-demand to future-proof your skillset.

We apply real-world skills through activities like:

Industry-relevant assignments.
Case studies based on real scenarios.
Modules shaped by current job market demands.
A focus on problem-solving, communication and digital literacy.

Whether you’re learning about consumer behaviour or social psychology, you’ll be gaining skills you can talk about in interviews or apply in the workplace immediately.

Plus, online degrees in general come with their own set of transferable skills. Employers look for workers who are self-disciplined, ambitious and motivated. Those who can manage their own time and balance work and life effectively. These are all skills needed for an online degree too.

2. Personalised career guidance, not just generic advice

You’re not just a student ID number to us, your overall experience at Walbrook is our top priority. Everything we do is designed to help you achieve your goals. Our mission goes beyond simply delivering education – it’s about supporting you every step of the way so that you can reach the career you’ve always envisioned. We want to see you thrive, not just academically, but professionally and personally.

Whether you’re preparing for your first role, looking to pivot into a new field, or aspiring to senior leadership, our dedicated team has created a suite of resources to help you map out a plan that’s personal, practical, and achievable. At Walbrook, we don’t just help you take the next step, we help you build the entire staircase to your career aspirations.

3. Online, flexible learning that works around your ambitions

Career development doesn’t wait for term time, and neither should your learning.

At Walbrook, our flexible online format is designed to fit around your life, so you can make progress without putting your career on hold. With our programmes, you can:

Study while you work, so you can apply what you’re learning in real time.
Control your schedule, balancing professional growth with personal commitments.
Study anytime and anywhere with clear deadlines and study guidance to ensure that you stay on track.
Slow down if you need to, our programmes can be switched between full and part time to suit what’s happening in your life at that moment.
Start within weeks, with 12 start dates a year, so you don’t have to wait to take the next step.

This approach means you don’t have to pause your career to improve it. Instead, your studies become a tool for growth, helping you gain new skills and experiences that support your next career step without waiting, without compromise, and without losing momentum.

4. A growing network of industry-connected tutors and guest speakers

We’re proud of our teaching team not just because they’re highly experienced educators, but because many of them have made a real impact in the industries they now teach. Their firsthand knowledge and practical insights bring learning to life, giving you a perspective you won’t get from textbooks alone.

Learning from people who’ve actually done the job makes a significant difference. It not only builds your confidence but also equips you with the practical knowledge, strategies, and insider insights to feel fully prepared to step into those roles yourself.

Opportunities to connect with industry

As part of your Walbrook experience, you’ll also gain access to a range of opportunities designed to connect you with real-world professionals and industry insights:

Live webinars and Q&As with professionals across business, psychology, finance and tech.
Real-life career journeys from people who’ve been in your shoes.
Networking opportunities and insights into how to break into (or move up in) your chosen field.
