We work with professionals and industry leaders to explore new ways to improve their employees' skills and knowledge through work-based learning.
We introduced the first business degree over 50 years ago and we continue to innovate today. Our long-standing experience and the high quality of our programmes have established us as a leader in professional education in the UK and internationally.
We develop work-based higher education programmes for major players in the retail sector. Previously we've previously worked with Marks & Spencer and we're now working nationally with Asda. We're also a member of the National Skills Academy for Retail Higher Education Advisory Group.
We've collaborated with global payment processing leader Group plc to deliver a master’s degree in Management in the International Payments Ecosystem that is the first of its kind in the sector.
This flexible, two-year programme means Worldpay employees can study as they work, using online tools and completing work-based assessments. Topics include payment industry fundamentals, business strategy, management perspectives and research methods.
We've worked with Asda to create a degree programme that has become a key aspect of their workforce development strategy. Our BA (Hons) Retail Management integrates Asda Retail Academy in-company training with work-based university modules leading to specific management job roles, from Section Leader to General Store Manager.
This isn't a degree apprenticeship at present; however, it's a great model to follow when designing a programme to be aligned with an employer's talent management activities.
We work with a wide range of businesses developing a bespoke response to their workforce development. Our partnerships include:
