What is industry based learning?

Industry based learning is applied business learning.

We are committed to ensuring our students add value to the organisations they work in.  A key element of this commitment is the inclusion of Industry Based Learning (IBL) into our degree programmes. Completed during the final year of study, IBL provides the opportunity to put theory into practice working with one of our host organisations.

Students develop relevant industry skills and knowledge, confidence and self-discipline. Successful completion of an IBL course may also lead to rapid employment, as some organisations have offered permanent positions to students they worked with through the programme.

If you are a student and/or company wishing to be part of the IBL programme and engage in applied business learning, please contact Denisa Hebblethwaite.
