Students
• A new pilot scheme, Business Imperial, aimed at
undergraduates at Imperial College was launched
in February 2012. In a series of master classes
run by the Business School, students were given
the chance to get to grips with current business
issues and practices as a way to enhance their
employability and broaden their knowledge. The
classes were incredibly popular with places being
snapped up within hours of registration opening.
We hope to run similar sessions in 2013.
All the master classes are available to watch
online.
