How Corporate Consultancy Projects work

Whether it’s a complex problem that needs fresh insight, or a new business opportunity to explore, our MBA students are ready to make a significant impact.

Working with our students on a Corporate Consultancy Project is a straightforward process:

1) Send us your project proposal

We carefully select projects that promise mutual growth and learning opportunities.

The first step is to share your business challenge or idea with our team. There are two ways you can do this:

If you're applying via email, please remember to include:

  • your name
  • the name of the organisation
  • your current role within the organisation
  • a brief overview of your project idea and what you hope to achieve by working with the MBA students
2) Partner with an MBA student

If your project proposal is selected, we'll pair you with a suitable MBA student. This is someone whose skills and academic focus align with your needs, based on your project proposal.

3) Develop solutions and recommendations

Our MBA students are guided by academic mentors and industry experts. Your student partner will work with you to develop strategic recommendations for action. These practical and innovative solutions will be designed to bring lasting positive change to your organisation.

The end of the project marks the beginning of new possibilities.
