Student goals and capabilities

The University of Liverpool Management School are looking for organisations who can propose a real-world, business-related problem or challenge to our final year students to help them develop their employability skills and enhance their networks as they prepare to graduate.

 

We have split our students into two main groups, focussing on:

1)     Business Strategy

2)     Business Strategy with a Finance Focus

 

The problem or challenge can be linked to any topic that relates to the above business functions and can be a topic or problem that may benefit from a fresh perspective. 

 

The choice of topic is flexible and can be discussed with the team before commencement. Below is a list of all of the relevant skills/abilities that our graduates are capable of utilising for your organisation.
