Every programme features combinations of guest speakers, live briefs, and opportunities for you to complete short projects in a business. Our undergraduate students all complete a work placement as part of their course and are supported in developing their resume and honing their interview technique. These exciting work placements are key opportunities for you develop new skills, apply learning from your course, and gain industry experience to add to your CV. If you’re looking for even more, we offer the chance to complete a year in industry as part of your course.

Here's some of the businesses we’re proud to have worked with:

• Hello Fresh – first year students completed a marketing project with Hello Fresh that saw them pitch new product ideas to them in their London head office.
• Humber Doucy Brewing Company – have worked with final-year undergraduates on the design and brand for an exclusive University of Suffolk beer – and for a non-alcoholic kombucha too!
• Google - provided the keynote speaker for our amazing student conference.

Every business is affected by new technologies – whether they offer scope for operational efficiency, open up new business models or threaten traditional businesses. Business courses at the University of Suffolk embrace these opportunities and help you to understand how you can be future-ready. New technologies are transformative – with our help you will be set to embrace change throughout your career.

Outstanding technology is everywhere you look on our campus – you will have the chance to embrace virtual reality, develop your AI skills and to master the programmes that are central to business operations across the globe. We’re also excited to welcome you into the new Bloomberg Lab which will give you the chance to learn about the trading of stocks and shares and to have a go yourself (with a practice account).
