Thomas' Manchester
Thomas Rae graduated from the University in 2019 and has since then been working as Graduate Surveyor for Cushman & Wakefield.
"After graduating, I managed to secure some work experience in New York City, prior to starting my graduate role in London. The skills I developed whilst at Manchester have provided a great foundation of knowledge and understanding to build on. I think the dual accredited aspect of the course provides a holistic view of the industry and informs students of the variety of disciplines available to specialise in."
