  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving capability.

One of the main reasons that I applied for Liberty Global was due to the opportunities that are available for the graduates. For example, graduates are able to move internationally as a part of their rotations. I was also really interested in what Liberty Global does. Alongside owning some big name companies, such as Virgin Media O2, they also invest in some really cool initiatives like Formula E.
