Retail banking degree from Barclays

Barclays has launched the UKs first retail banking degree in partnership with Nottingham Business School. No tuition fees, a guaranteed job after graduation, and a wage while you study is on offer with Barclays hoping to lure top students to a career with the bank, as reported in The Guardian.

The retail development programme offers stu¬dents work experience in a customer-centred environment, full funding of their tuition fees and a guaranteed full-time position immediately after graduating. According to Gary Hoffman, the group vice-chairman of Barclays, The programme addresses two of the main concerns of todays students: how to pay their way through university and what to do after graduating.

Selected students start on the programme at the end of the first year of their business management course at Nottingham Business School. During the remaining two years of their course, students will do four to five-month placements in Barclays branches to gain customer relationship, sales and management skills. They will be paid £12,000 per annum. A pilot programme was launched this September and would be expanded next year.
