Business Engagement via the Institutional Employer Board
The Institutional Employer Board engages with employers, and regional and national organisations, to enhance and inform our education, employability development and business engagement strategies. Our Programme Advisory Boards / Employer Liaison Groups, or equivalent, consist of internal and external representatives, including students and alumni, employers, and community stakeholders – they help shape and inform the curriculum and educational opportunities for students within specific programmes of study.
