[UoM students have] a genuine interest in our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Getty added that he believed the fashion industry was growing in Manchester, a city that was once called the \u2018Cottonopolis\u201d. And it\u2019s an industry in which he loves to work; where you could visit Paris one week and New York the next.<\/p>\n<p>Shaun Foster, Recruiter at Next, agreed that working in fashion is anything but boring. He pointed out that the sector is fast-paced and home to a lot of innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Tara O\u2019Reilly, a Talent Partner at ASOS, pointed out that her line of work offers up a mix of creative and technology, which made for a \u201cdynamic and innovative\u201d environment. \u201cThe fact that here at the University they offer a variety of different courses appeals to us at ASOS as we have lots of different teams \u2013 in buying, in merchandising but also in software engineering, in marketing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yasmin Kobbie Kaduwe, Talent Accusation Lead at N Brown, echoed these comments, saying that the variety of courses on offer to students in the School of Materials meant that graduates have \u201creally good all-round experience\u201d and a \u201cgood understanding of what they can expect in the industry\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Russell, Senior Recruitment Manager for Matalan, told us: \u201cWe find that the difference between University of Manchester students and students from other universities is that the Fashion Buying and Merchandising course is a Bachelor of Science rather than a Bachelor of Arts. What we find the differentiator of Manchester University students is that they come with much more commercial and business awareness because of the nature of the course.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Exposure to research<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1592\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1592\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2017\/11\/Philip-Jenson.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2017\/11\/Philip-Jenson-268x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"268\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2017\/11\/Philip-Jenson-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/uommaterialsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2017\/11\/Philip-Jenson.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Philip Jenson, Rolls Royce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another thing that makes University of Manchester students stand out to employers is the exposure to research they enjoy before they graduate.
