Master of Business Administration MBA: Networking

One of the most important skills you will develop on the MBA is networking, whether you choose to study full time or part time. Networking helps you develop business and social connections, increasing your confidence and business efficiency. 

The nucleus of your MBA network is your study group – a group of five or six people with whom you will work (and socialise) for the duration of the course. The broader cohort with whom you are studying provides a wider network. 

There are many opportunities to meet students on other cohorts as well as to mix with business practitioners and alumni:

• Social events on campus bring student cohorts together and the Kingston MBA alumni club arranges get-togethers and events off campus. 
• The 'Strategy into Practice' and 'Entrepreneurship Experience' sessions incorporate networking sessions with alumni and local business people. (Read more in the Events and lectures section.)
• For those who really want to hone their networking skills, we run an excellent series of masterclasses, which includes a session on networking.
• Kingston Business School organises a number of 'Business Network' events each year, which you or representatives of your organisations are welcome to attend.

The Kingston MBA also gives you plenty of opportunity to develop an international business network beyond London. Read more in the International experience section.
