Why should you get involved with SIFE?

There are many reasons why you should be a part of the QM SIFE team. Here are just a few examples:

-       Sense of achievement – SIFE students make lasting impact on the lives of others as well as on the individual. The benefit to the community your project impacts on will be great, and you can leave university knowing you have made a positive difference.

-       Employability skills – You will gain and/or develop numerous skills that employers are now looking for in addition to your degree. This includes confidence, leadership, team working, communication, project management and entrepreneurship.

-       Career Prospects – SIFE students have exclusive access to business leaders and recruitment opportunities. Major sponsors include HSBC, KPMG, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, N Power, ASDA & GlaxoSmithKline. HSBC value the SIFE programme so highly that they ask all graduate applicants if they have been involved in SIFE whilst at university. This demonstrates how widely SIFE is respected by leading businesses and how the skills you will gain are highly valued by top employers.

-       National and International recognition of success through competitions – SIFE students present their projects at the annual National Competition to leading business experts, competing for the chance to represent the UK at the SIFE World Cup.

-       Fun! You will get to meet so many new people that you may not have otherwise met at university, and make some great friends.
