Special Features

Students will have the opportunity to undertake a consultancy project for an export-led UK firm or multinational subsidiary. In any multinational, understanding international cultures, negotiating and working in (virtual) teams across the world requires a range of critical transformative learning skills. The programme also features a range of life-long learning skill enhancement activities such as a two day residential weekend at one of most scenic areas in Northern Ireland - the Mourne Mountains near Newcastle - workplace engagement pratice, a distinguished leadership programme, activities from a professional skills and impact coach, sector groups and trading clubs, a Deloitte consultancy challenge, an employment guidance course and a consultancy skills and practice course.

The programme will be delivered in the beautiful setting of the Riddel Hall campus. Set in its own landscaped grounds, Riddel Hall, a listed mansion house, has been sympathetically renovated to retain many of its original features, whilst incorporating the highest standard of modern technology. Postgraduate students can avail of the newly developed and dedicated state-of-the art facilities such as open computer suites, postgraduate common room and lecture theatre.
