Students learn and grow with global achievers

Our students learn in small cohort sizes whilst sharing experiences within a student body that is truly diverse. We recruit a cohort of students who are carefully chosen through interview for their diversity of experience and potential contribution.

Learners will develop the capabilities and knowledge to set them apart in any industry or entrepreneurial venture, by honing their leadership skills, critical thinking, and communication, whilst also working to improve their performance through a range of modules. Tackling sustainability challenges as integral to our programme.

Jo Clark, Deputy Degree Programme Director on the MBA programme, explained: “Our students have the opportunity to learn from leading academics in studying sustainability issues. In addition, we embed challenges aligned with the UNSD goals into many elements of our programme. Students work with external organisations such as our University strategic partner Northumbrian Water Ltd, to support them in achieving net zero targets.”
