Overcome a real business problem
This module allows you to put the theory taught on the MBA into practice. You’ll develop specialised expertise by researching a real business issue and influence real commercial outcomes, if your recommendations are implemented by a sponsoring organisation.
This project can be selected as a double-weighted elective module as part of the Weekend MBA experience. It requires you to submit a report of up to 15,000 words for assessment. Your report must have a critical, evaluative or analytical element, and add value by creating something new in terms of method, application, ideas and knowledge.
Projects range from consultancy assignments to theoretical analyses, and can be sponsored by companies. You may choose to do your project with your own organisation. With the flexibility of options offered this project is a great way for you to link this project to your career objectives.
