IB552E: CONSULTANCY (2017-2018)

Last modified: 27 Feb 2018 19:27


Course Overview

Consultancy means advising clients on strategy, planning and problem solving.

Top consulting firms hire more MBA graduates than nearly any other type of employer (Financial Times, 2016).  That’s because an MBA cultivates business expertise that empowers you to offer profound business insight. In this final module you will undertake a management consultancy project that will require you to draw on all of the skills and expertise you have developed over the course of our MBA. You can apply your learning to either: a business you are working with or apply for one of our virtual consultancy internships.
