Practicum

Consulting real clients on real business challenges

In their final year, students work directly with real business clients who present them with actual organisational challenges. Acting as junior consultants, students apply their knowledge to analyse the problem, develop strategic solutions, and present actionable recommendations. This immersive experience enhances critical thinking, client communication, and professional readiness while offering a meaningful contribution to the client’s business.

Mock Job Interviews

Building confidence for career success

Students take part in professionally organised mock interviews that simulate real recruitment scenarios. This activity helps them sharpen their interview techniques, receive personalised feedback, and develop the communication skills and confidence needed to stand out in competitive job markets.
