As the course progresses, you will have the opportunity to choose your own learning pathway, picking from a range of modules to shape your future. These will help you develop the skills you’re interested in and prepare for a career that’s right for you. Applied learning We think the best way to learn something is to do it in the real world. That means putting learning into practice through placements, internships and consultancy projects through our global network of leading businesses. Placements You can undertake a year-long placement nationally or internationally – preparing you for your future career while gaining industry contacts and an applied professional diploma to add to your CV. Previous placement years have taken place at organisations such as Microsoft, Enterprise Cars, Bosch, 3M and E-on.

Live Projects A range of projects, business simulations and client-led tasks mean you can apply your knowledge to real-life scenarios, improving your analytical mindset, learning agility and critical thinking. You’ll also experience what it’s really like to collaborate with others and solve complex challenges with our workplace simulation activities. Here you’ll learn how to lead, manage resources and develop project plans. Entrepreneurial Support We offer award-winning support for entrepreneurs – from free offices and studio space to expert workshops, freelance opportunities, and a vast business network ready for you to tap into.
