Research and teaching

Work with expert academics
You’ll benefit from being taught by expert academic staff, many of whom have first-hand experience in business, finance, management and government policy. Our academics bring the latest research insights into the classroom, as well as commercial best practice from our consultancy and partnerships with hundreds of organisations across the planet.
Links with industry
Business education is more effective (and interesting) when it’s practical. Which is why many of our programmes also offer projects, guest lectures and workshops from industry partners, and extracurricular masterclasses.
Several of our master’s have been designed in partnership with leading companies to make sure they’re geared towards what today’s employers are looking for.
We also work in collaboration with the EFMD Global Network, to give you access to potential internships, trainee positions, apprenticeships and graduate positions in companies worldwide.
