Put what you've learned into practice by taking part in a live business consultancy project where you can work with established businesses, charities and third sector organisations and develop skills and experience that will make you more attractive to future employers.

This course offers the opportunity to take a ‘sandwich’ year – a year of paid employment in industry which will build your skills and experience. This is usually taken between the second and third year of your degree, typically making your course four years in total. Students who choose the sandwich route find it helps with both their studies and getting a job after graduation. It can build your confidence, contacts, and of course your CV.
