What graduates say
-
Applying MBA learnings to the business
The module with most impact was the elective on Mergers & Acquisitions. I did my Business Project on M&A, considering best practice for targeting searches for small to medium-sized businesses. It was at the time our business was looking for a target to acquire, and that worked really well.

Securing a new role while studying
Just three months into the programme, I secured a role at Sustainable Ventures, supporting climate start-ups with investment, workspace, and expert guidance. Being able to apply my MBA learnings directly to my work helped solidify my knowledge and deliver real impact.

From Corporate Banking to Social Enterprise Entrepreneur
The MBA’s emphasis on innovation and disruption enabled me to evolve from a corporate executive into the leader of an innovative start-up. It was a truly transformative experience.
