the sector with thirteen universities to devise a new
style of degree. Employers defined a common set of
‘learning outcomes’, based on the principle of developing
technical, business, interpersonal and project skills in
equal measure. Universities collaborated with employers
to create new courses to meet these needs. A growing
partnership of employers support marketing, delivery and
ongoing development of the programme. For example,
employers such as British Airways, BT, CA, Deloitte, Ford,
IBM, Morgan Stanley, Proctor & Gamble and Unilever
provide ‘guru’ lectures, awards, project challenges and
extended business placements for students.
ITMB degrees are offered at the following universities:
University of the West of England (UWE), University
College London (UCL), Sheffield, Oxford Brookes,
Northumbria, Loughborough, Lancaster, Keele, Hull,
Greenwich, Exeter, Birmingham and Manchester.
