Following the completion of last semester’s Student Consultancy Programme, over 90 people attended a celebratory event held on Wednesday 10 June.
The event marked the end of the participating students’ eight week opportunity to experience business consultancy alongside their degree. The students worked in teams of four to find a solution to a problem posed by a local business, as well as receiving training from consultancy firm IBM.
Dr Eleanor Quince, the Programme Director, said:
“Student Consultancy is a fantastic opportunity for our students; providing exposure to the commercial world, a chance to work in a team to create a solution to a real business problem and to learn from consultants working at IBM.”
See the Student Consultancy Programme website for information about how to get involved with the programme in 2015/16.
