Engage with our industry-experienced MBA students on their MBA Strategic Marketing Project, who will work in small teams to deliver expert consultancy on a marketing issue you identify as important to your organisation. This project is well suited to the SME sector.

Benefits for your business

Why work with our MBA students?

Our students are among the best in their field and combine their strategic business and management skills and specialist knowledge, refined by the MBA process. The average student is 31 years old and each year the class represents a wide range of industries and nationalities, giving them a unique international perspective.

On completion, the students present their findings in person and submit a formal 3,000 word report.
