Industry EXCELLENCE ACADEMY FOR business

The programmes of study within our Industry Excellence Academy have been co-developed with industry partners including Lloyds Banking Group, Barclays and Pie Analysis. This means you’ll benefit from courses aligned with current industry demands and take part in a range of industry-level activities and lessons.

You’ll benefit from masterclasses and lessons delivered by industry experts, as well as visits from guest speakers at the forefront of the business sector. You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in industry-standard ‘live briefs’, which will see you working on similar projects to those you’ll face once you begin your career in the world of business.

There’s a lot of competition for well-paid jobs and experience can help to give you an advantage over other applicants, so you’ll complete a placement with an industry employer. This will last at least 15 days and, in many cases, you’ll be matched with a mentor from your chosen industry to support you along the way.

Once you’ve completed your journey through our Industry Excellence Academy, you’ll have gained the qualifications, experience and skills you need to take the next steps towards an amazing career.
