Advisory Board
The School's international Advisory Board has members drawn from a variety of backgrounds, both from industry and the public sector to help us garner a variety of skills and a breadth of knowledge.
Members offer advice on issues such as executive development needs, graduate attributes, employability issues, fundraising and emerging technologies/business practices. Members help to guide the School in its development and enable us to strengthen links between the academic community and its external constituencies. The Board meets formally twice a year but many of the members spend time in the School giving guest lectures to the students and attending various functions.
