Support and benefits

On campus:

To support students through their course and prepare them for assignments and examinations, the Business School provides extensive learning materials and students have unlimited access to an excellent library, broadband enabled PCs and journals.

Outside speakers further enhance the MBA programme and enliven modules by relating their real life experiences to provoke fresh insights into business practice. The Business School also organises research seminars, to which MBA students are invited and in which they are encouraged to participate. Company visits allow MBA participants to experience first-hand the UK business environment and all MBA students are assigned personal supervisors who are a source of pastoral care, information and links with other support services in the University.

The Hull MBA equips students for career progression through the enhanced knowledge and skills taught thus creating excellent employment opportunities. With its own alumni association the Business School also offers opportunities to enhance the business careers of its students and expert guidance is offered to MBA students seeking employment through a dedicated Career Management programme.

Students are also given the chance to practise their skills in 'real-life' business situations, but without the consequences, through business simulation games. The games allow for integrated learning and the application of business theory to real situations before the students have to do it for real.

Additional workshops and events are held that foster personal development and skills enhancement, covering team building, leadership development, and negotiating and influencing skills, and students are encouraged to study an additional language or make informal use of the Open Learning Centre for Languages.

The Business School automatically registers all students as members of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) which offers further benefits and guarantees membership of the CMI upon graduation.

HUBSoc, the Business School's own student society, arranges a host of professional events and social evenings for MBA students to enjoy, so that every aspect of university life is covered.

Accommodation which is owned, managed or directed by the University is guaranteed for all overseas students, although it cannot, unfortunately, extend this guarantee to the families of students.
