Projects
MBA Consultancy Projects enable businesses to benefit from our talented, international professionals participating in a forward-looking, cutting edge accredited MBA.
Each of our MBA participants has the capability to bring innovative business thinking to your organisation.
How does it work?
| November - February |
From November to February, the students will be thinking through their different project options. If a student is interested in exploring a project with your organisation, the MBA Team will be in touch to make an introduction. |
|---|---|
| April - May | From April, the student will work with you, supported by their academic supervisor, to develop their project idea further and to produce their project proposal which they will need to have completed by early May. |
| May - September |
Students will conduct their project from May/June to September, producing a consultancy report by early September. Please bear in mind that, during this period, the student will still have modules and course work to complete, with the last module, for some students, not finishing until the end of June. We will be asking you for feedback on the student which will account for 10% of their overall consultancy project mark. |

What costs are involved?
Costs will depend on the project and are negotiated accordingly. All out of pocket expenses incurred by the MBA participant are covered by the organisation, including travel, phone calls, photocopying, etc.
As part of the project process MBA participants will develop a formal project scope, which will include an estimate of costs. All project costs will be agreed with the client before they are incurred.
Clients should settle the costs directly with the MBA participants (against receipts). In some cases, the nature or extent of the work may justify additional payment, salary, or other compensation. This might be the case if an MBA participant is required to work full-time on the organisation's premises, as well as fulfilling their project, or where an MBA participant's expertise and experience is such that it will add considerable value to the project outcome and benefit to the organisation.
Is the work kept confidential?
If you wish the information collected by the student, during the course of the project, and the final report itself, to be treated in confidence, we can put an agreement in place so that the report is only read and assessed by Business School faculty and an external examiner, and beyond this the content will not be disclosed.
