The MBA students, especially those on the full-time MBA programmes, are recruited from all over the world, and bring with them a minimum equivalent of a good honours degree and useful previous and current work experience. 

If you make the decision to host a project you can expect the following from our students: 

• Open mindedness and the ability to ask searching questions and explore the company from new angles. 
• Students with access to up-to-date research information via on-line databases on financial performance, market research analysis, newspapers and journals and unlimited access to public Internet resources.  
• The ability to analyse a situation from a variety of perspectives supported by an understanding of appropriate frameworks and concepts.  
• The ability to develop commercially relevant recommendations. 
• Confidentiality – we recognise that each business is operating in a commercially sensitive environment and that access to confidential information makes it imperative that this information is not divulged outside the group in any form. (We can enter into a non-disclosure agreement where appropriate). 
•  A commitment to the client company and its welfare. 
•  A high standard of professional behaviour including punctuality, politeness, and sensitivity. 
•  Operation of the project in line with the agreed consultancy proposal.

What do we expect from a company? 

Below are some indicators of what we believe helps provide the right learning experience for the student groups and therefore produce successful outcomes for you: 

• A company of sufficient size to have a relatively complex organisational culture, where bringing about change can be challenging. Ideally, an organisation (in any sector) with a head count of 25+ is ideal.
• An organisation located in the same time zone as Nottingham, UK makes it easier for our students to schedule meetings with you.
• Where meetings are conducted remotely, we ask that clients have easy availability to the technology necessary to take part in online meetings. 
• Challenging projects that are genuinely of benefit to the organisation. 
• Finding time to discuss and debate issues with students. 
• Enough access to the organisation and relevant staff, stakeholders for students to gain an understanding of the organisation and its environment. 
• On-going contact with someone within the organisation throughout the project period. 
• Regular feedback of your views relating to the project progress and direction to the University tutor and the student group. 
• Timely response to the initial student consultancy project proposal and any reasonable student requests for additional information.
