Who we work with

Positive impact for business

The Management School's For Business  strategy aims to build relationships with local, regional and international business. To ensure the School, our academic staff and our students can deliver the greatest impact, our strategy focuses engagement within the local and regional sectors. It is our aim to work hand in hand with business to develop Sheffield and our region into a thriving international economy.

The School's business engagement strategy seeks to maximise the positive impact of the engagement experience for both students and businesses. The following case studies illustrate how that strategy delivers real impact:
