Our Work with Industry partners has helped mould and develop our degrees, providing students with industry powered teaching that gives them the best skills and experience to excel in their careers.

This also gives you the employers the chance to customise a degree course to the needs of your business and the skills you require in your business. This can help you business since you could help nurture talent to specialise in a particular field of work.

We take the lead in designing the modules so that are as relevant to industry as possible, bringin university level teaching into your workplace whereby students develop to the fullest extent possible. Industry Partners have the opportunity to get involved through taking the lead in business-focussed workshops and giving guest lectures.

We regularly run half day and whole day events both on site and externally, giving out students exposure to the inner workings of a real business environment, including business culture and employee relations. These opportunities are not only beneficial for the students, but they also give employers the chance to have a first look at upcoming talent who could potentially contribute to your business.

Students are often tasked with extended research projects, helping them to develop vital business skills needed to succeed in the workplace. Often partners can contribute to these projects through interviews and data collection but these projects give partners the chance to see what students are fully capable off.
