You’ll also have access to the GDST LEAD Programme (Leadership Enterprise Advanced Diploma) with LSE Generate, the entrepreneurial arm of the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. This offers leadership training, workshops and mentoring support.
Networking
Putney alumnae have been leading the way in every field from the earliest days of computer programming (Mary Coombs) to ground-breaking robotic surgery (Aimee di Marco) and even the Forbes 30 under 30 (Anoushka Mehta).
Putney benefits from a huge network of former students who regularly return to support those following in their footsteps. Many have gone on to become household names, like broadcaster and journalist, Sophie Raworth and multi-Oscar winning costume designer, Jenny Beavan.
We hold regular talks, working breakfasts and alumnae lunches to connect you with the right people and give you the heads up on everything you need to know about the courses and career paths open to you.
