Study Visits and Guest Speakers
Being based in the academic city of Oxford gives students access to an exciting programme of Guest Speakers and Study Visits. Recent speakers include local serial entrepreneur Ani Haykumi (MBA Oxon, CEO of Vann, a Healthtech company backed by Oxford University Innovation), Dr Tom Crawford (PhD Applied Mathematics, Cambridge), Christian Adofo (Nike Journalist & Brand Creative Writer), and Dr Marcus Nyman (Senior Policy Officer, RSPB; PhD Geography, Cambridge). Study visits have taken students to the Mini BMW Plant, and into Oxford to undertake market research, offering rich learning beyond the classroom.
Careers Advice Session
Our Business & Entrepreneurship course includes a dedicated Careers Advice session, where students meet with our experienced University and Career Counsellors to explore future pathways, university options, and career opportunities. This guidance helps students make informed decisions and plan their next steps with confidence.
