Guest Speaker Programme
Having already experienced and benefited from the `Company Visits Programme' we have decided to compliment it with the `Guest Speakers Programme' designed to enhance your specialist business knowledge. This programme will help to improve your business understanding of up-to-date issues and strategies through listening to those already in management positions.
The visiting speakers offer the opportunity to share their own philosophies of management with the students whom intend to move into management positions of the future.
Students are given the chance to discuss the business issues that the particular organisation will face. As a student, you will find the experience extremely rewarding, as you are able to guide your own questions. This will serve to further enrich your theoretical studies as well as allowing you to take valuable knowledge.
