Benefits to employers
A great strength of part-time study is that your employee is able to apply their new knowledge immediately to their work. It also makes the theory accessible and relevant as they, or someone in their group, may have a real-time problem to which it can be applied. Gaining this new knowledge gives them the confidence to take on new challenges and meet them. Just one innovative idea could pay for the entire programme.

The consultancy project
Your organisation will receive a high quality report from your employee. You will benefit from the input of research findings and best practice from top business academics. Many projects have had a significant impact on strategic decisions and have directly added value.
Many projects undertaken involve allowing access to confidential data, plans, and strategies. Completed consultancy project dissertations will not be placed in a library or released for wider readership without the prior consent of your organisation.
