Supporting the School

As active ambassadors for the School, we consider our alumni to be our most valuable asset. We are always delighted to welcome alumni back to the School for visits or for class reunions.

Many alumni continue to support the School, either as guest speakers and industry sector mentors or as advisors to current students for both career-related and dissertation research. Others engage with course components including hosting a Consultancy Project or an internship in their companies.

Contact with alumni

Alumni also engage in the admissions process, through contact with prospective students, as well as assisting at Open Days and MBA fairs worldwide.
