Look forward to development opportunities and extracurricular activities where you can channel your purpose and passion into the needs of organisations and communities.

Develop critical digital and interpersonal skills through our co-curricular programme

Irrespective of discipline, all students need to master a wide range of interpersonal, digital and analytical skills, which can be further supported with evidence gained through studying additional micro-credentials. At Loughborough Business School, we have designed a comprehensive suite of additional learning opportunities to ensure our graduates are ready to navigate a complex and uncertain job market.
 
These additional opportunities are constructed around three key pillars. The first is interpersonal skills; we offer guidance on personal branding, career planning and networking, as well as interview and assessment centre preparation. The second pillar addresses critical digital competencies such as data and AI skills, from non-coding essentials through to understanding data science. Finally, to bridge the gap between academic theory and the practical world, we organise a series of high quality guest speaker and masterclass sessions for students, which put the spotlight on contemporary business practices.
