Alumni

Welcome back

A warm welcome back to alumni of Sheffield University Management School (SUMS)!

All of our former students, whether you graduated 30 years ago or last year, become SUMS alumni for life. You would certainly be mistaken for thinking that once you have graduated you have left the School - not true. In fact, you are now instantly a part of our alumni community that exceeds 12,000 members - and counting! You are forever part of the School's history, and your identity is intertwined with ours. This means that you share a special connection with a rich and diverse population; in your daily activity, at work or play, you remain a key part of our global reputation.

We hope the Management Gateway is a useful reference point for understanding how you can remain part of SUMS' ongoing activities. You can find more details about Management School activities below and the wider alumni service at the University here.

Professional development

At the Management School, we know how important it is to stay ahead of your game. The extra benefits you receive as a Management School alumnus are therefore designed to enhance your professional and personal development.

As well as the benefits and support available to you from the Management School, you also have access to the wider services available to you as an alumnus of the University of Sheffield.

Supporting our students

Host a student project

Each year our Masters and MBA students undertake a research project, set by you as a host organisation. As an alumnus you can provide students with the opportunity to gain experience of working on real business issues, helping them prepare for work in the graduate market.

Provide a student placement

A placement is when a student takes employment in a job role (usually paid) during their study time at Sheffield. There are different types of placement opportunities to suit your business need.

Engage on campus

Students can learn a lot from engaging with alumni on campus. Campus activity such as careers events and guest talks provides students with the chance to ask questions and to find out more about the career paths that Management alumni take.
