Through problem-based and experiential learning approaches you’ll focus on real-world challenges that equip you to resolve complex business problems in sustainable, responsible and transformative ways. Between Years 2 and 3 we offer the chance to undertake a work placement in the UK or overseas, or to study outside the UK with one of our long-standing partner institutions. So, you’ll gain crucial real-world experience, preparing you for professional employment or other enterprise-related activity.Newcastle Business School holds accreditation from the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) which places us in in an elite group of business schools globally.
