The final part of the Full-Time MBA at Imperial is the Capstone event which brings together students for a final challenge. In the month leading up to Capstone, students had been completing their internships at companies like Hello Fresh and Amazon, exchange programmes at other prestigious universities worldwide, or summer projects.
As the grand finale to the programme, Capstone provided students the opportunity to celebrate their achievements, reconnect with their classmates through a range of social activities, and offered a final opportunity to integrate and apply their MBA learning to the topic of “Managing and Leading Change in uncertain times”. Students heard from a variety of companies including Unilever, Shop Direct, AC Nielson and Media Measurement.
The programme of activities ended with closing remarks from the Dean of Imperial College Business School, Professor Francisco Veloso, and the programmes team, who received a standing ovation from students. The students’ time on the Full-Time MBA officially ended with a finale dinner at the Royal Garden Hotel.
