Blending Theory and Practice through Partnership

Working effectively in partnership with other academic institutions, businesses and public service organisations, both at home and overseas, is at the core of our business model as a practice led business school.


We engage closely with all academic partners to identify needs and to offer programmes, which align with their market needs. At the international level, we actively seek to partner with academic institutions which are like-minded in their approach to practice-based business education and research. Such academic partnerships include:

• Joint running of our courses
• The design of dual award courses
• Collaborative research projects
• Student exchanges
• Staff exchange
• Articulation arrangements
• Progression Accords
