Fresh from higher education? Is the thought of launching your career daunting? Perhaps you can’t wait to get started. Either way, MHA is the place to apply your academic knowledge, find your footing in the professional world, and study for a prestigious qualification in a supportive environment.
MHA Graduate Programme
By the end of our Graduate Programme, you’ll be a well-rounded, commercially minded professional, ready to take on interesting and challenging responsibilities. You won’t just be fully qualified - you’ll be fully prepared to drive your own career forward.
We believe in hands-on learning. You’ll be doing real work on real projects, not just shadowing.

After completing our three-year development programme, you'll be ready to manage your own client portfolio.
The graduate route at MHA has been an incredible journey of growth, not just professionally but personally. The strong support network and the genuine sense of belonging here make all the difference. I’ve had the chance to work on diverse and challenging projects, which have shaped me into a confident and skilled professional.
