Students

Students from the University’s School of Law interview clients before researching the law and procedure under the direction of tutors. They then send clients detailed written advice, which is supervised and signed by a practising solicitor. All work is done confidentially.

They advise on unfair dismissal, various forms of discrimination, redundancy, harassment, the national minimum wage, working time regulations and work permits for migrant workers.

Bradford is the only business school in the North of England to achieve an FT 2010 ranking for its highly rated Executive MBA programme. Students on average, see a 70 per cent salary rise four years after starting the programme.

The league table results are compiled using information from two sets of surveys, one completed by alumni graduating three years ago and the other by the business schools.

As Professor of Entrepreneurial Development and Director of the Institute for Enterprise and Innovation (UNIEI) at the University of Nottingham, Martin Binks has pioneered links across the University, including at its campuses in Asia, as well as creating excellent connections with small and medium-sized enterprises.

Philip Powell, Executive Dean and Professor of Management at Birkbeck said:

“As a top 200 world ranking institution and having taught management for over 20 years, it was time that Birkbeck, University of London became ABS members.  Our restructuring means that the 2,500 students in the new School of Business, Economics and Informatics can reap the benefits of integration across disciplines -  which is what tomorrow's business leaders will require.'

Vicky Robinson, Head of Marketing and Communications at ABS welcomed this move and said:

This figure is calculated across a range of factors including: procurement of goods and services; off-campus expenditure of staff and students; visitor spend; number of students in the regional workforce and business and community interactions.

The figures have been released as the University holds its graduation week, which in itself attracts 16,000 visitors to the city, spending over £530,000 in just 10 days.
