Employment Partnerships
"The MBA students were excellent: it was effectively thousands of pounds worth of free consultancy."
Malcolm Newdick, Managing Director of Riverbank IT Management
At Oxford Brookes University Business School we take pride in our long-term partnerships with businesses and organisations across all size bands and sectors, which help us to:
- teach relevant, up-to-date knowledge and skills
- develop highly employable graduates
- help them make a seamless transition into work
With our partners we create opportunities for our students to learn from work, including:
- project work in companies by teams of experienced MBA students, many of whom hold responsible positions in business
- full-time one-year placements for undergraduate students in companies
- shorter internships for postgraduate students
- work-based learning and other innovative approaches
Our aim is to develop people who are not just knowledgeable about business, but who have the drive, ambition and personal qualities to become capable managers; well-grounded but flexible, commercially aware and ready to learn. When they join your organisation as placement students or as graduates, we are confident you will be impressed with their calibre.
