It is this personalised approach to learning that enables the student to interact with staff and workplaces to develop the professional and leadership skills so beloved by industry.

A New Way of Teaching

With its proximity to the big industry players, the Finance Hub is pioneering industry-led degree courses that take a seminar style approach, rather than the lecture/tutorial format of more traditional university courses, and emphasis is placed on problem-based learning that focuses on the individual student.

Industry Practitioner Content

As part of this new approach to teaching, industry practitioners will work along side subject leaders in delivering content and acclivities. The involvement of industry in the classroom is designed to give student exposure to real industry processes and decision making.

Alumni Mentoring Link Alumni Mentoring

The Finance Hub is creating a pool of alumni mentors to support students on particular subject projects and assessment exercises, and to provide career development guidance and networking opportunities.
