Our education programmes offer the highest quality learning experience, so that our students are ready, resilient and effective in the working world. We are constantly engaging with all sizes and sectors of business to support this, providing integrated education and career development programmes.
Our reskilling and education programmes, such as Degree Apprenticeships, Executive MBAs and other Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes are in continual development with businesses to ensure we bridge the gaps around data science and digital skills.
At C-Suite level, The Birmingham Leadership Institute allows leaders and chief executives to come together to work on system leadership challenges and on their own personal and professional development.
As you build out your workforce to take advantage of the opportunities in the region, you can work with us to develop placement and internship programmes and access our graduates.
Student Knowledge Exchange
To showcase and develop our student talent with business, we have launched the ‘Student Knowledge Exchange Re-Imagined’ project. These are a series of boot camps and workshops with business. We are currently looking for businesses who are considering their plans for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and would like access to our students’ ideas across many disciplines, while providing our students with tangible experience with business.
