MBA projects

The Managing Innovation module gives students the opportunity to work on live projects alongside innovation partners and plan a strategy for developing something new.

Students also have access to the advice of a range of start-up business experts and present their strategies to the company directors. Our aim is to inspire students to realise their own business ambitions.

For more information on how you can work with us please contact Dr Amanda Berry.

MBA Internships

Students who choose the MBA with Internship option are seeking to secure a 45-52 week professional internship in their second year.

An MBA internship is an excellent way of attracting talent to your organisation. It is a cost-effective way to have a skilled MBA student with international work experience working in your organisation, bringing fresh ideas and inspiration to tackle one-off projects or particular management issues.

Our students value the opportunity to contribute to UK organisations, apply their MBA learning and previous work experience.
