Training and Development

The Faculty of Business, Law and Politics offers a range of academic programmes tailored to you and your organisation's requirements. Bespoke programmes ensure organisations and individuals increase their capabilities by enabling employees to develop new skills, attitudes, outlooks and knowledge in their specific sector. Our academics are able to convey their wealth of experience and knowledge to the classroom in a variety of methods, such as using live case studies and cutting-edge research to bring learning to life. Our law and politics training courses have been delivered to judges and corporate clients both from the UK and overseas, and are run by our staff from Law and Politics subject groups. 

There's also the Hull Executive MBA, which has been created to develop future industry leaders. The programme offers excellent networking opportunities, and second-to-none engagement with businesses and researchers. The Faculty has a strong alumni network which is constantly growing, offering opportunities for students to interact with their peers and aspirants.

The Business School have also led the way in developing and promoting 'Systems Thinking' - an approach which challenges current management thinking in order to help organisations work better. We're working with prominent consultants Vanguard to provide a practical and positive education programme, focused on enabling participants to learn a means of achieving significant, measurable change for the long-term benefit of the organisation.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) bring together academia with industry to improve business competitiveness for the long-term.

The government-funded programme, launched in 2003, encourages collaboration to spread knowledge and relevant business skills to the company, while stimulating business-relevant research and offering employment to a recent graduate.

Each KTP involves three 'partners':

• a company 
• a knowledge base (or university)
• an associate, who is a recently qualified graduate

If you have a specific business project that you believe would benefit from academic input and a fresh graduate perspective, please contact us for more information.

Corporate Partners

We work closely with the business community on a regional, national and international level, ensuring that our teaching and learning, research, and enterprise meets the ever changing needs of industry.

We are pleased to be associated with some of the biggest companies in the region, and beyond, through our corporate partner scheme.
