International Business Management MSc: The Consultancy Project

The Consultancy Project enables you to put the knowledge and skills you gain on the course into practice with a real company. It involves working in a group, with five or six of your peers, for an external client organisation over a period of five to six weeks. During the Project you will conduct internal and external research, resulting in a confidential written report and presentation to the sponsoring company.

The Project brief is determined and agreed with the client company to ensure it fulfils the aim of both the company and the course.
