Students achieve this through participation in class activities and through involvement in events organised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
Our School has well developed links to the CIPD and the body provides strong recognition of our programmes, with graduates of the MBS being accredited with graduate membership of the CIPD. This approach is unique, both in terms of the breadth of the subject coverage, and the depth of the subject expertise. A key feature of the MBS programme is that it sets the theories into a wider practical perspective, through the use of case studies, state of the art technology and visiting staff who are experienced and respected practitioners.
