Newcastle University Business School

Our MBA students recently partnered with leading North East AI company Wordnerds to tackle the challenges of scaling a high-growth business.

From analysing sales funnels to exploring new market opportunities, students presented strategic ideas and received direct feedback from Wordnerds leadership team.

We’re proud to give our students hands-on experience with forward-thinking organisations shaping the future of business. A big thank you to the team at Wordnerds for providing our students with this opportunity. 👏👏

We love celebrating the incredible journeys of our Newcastle University Business School alumni. ⭐

Just in time for a summer of sport, we caught up with two graduates who’ve turned their sporting talent into business success, proving where ambition, resilience and opportunity can lead.

It’s always inspiring to see how the Newcastle experience continues to shape our community long after graduation.

We’re delighted to have been shortlisted for the Graduate Employability Initiative of the Year Award at the China-Britain Business Council Awards, in recognition of our careers fairs in China. 🎊🎊

This award celebrates organisations that go above and beyond to prepare Chinese graduates for successful and meaningful careers supporting employability skills, expanding access to opportunities, and helping students navigate an increasingly competitive global job market.

We’re incredibly proud of this recognition and look forward to the winners being announced at the annual awards at the end of May.

We are so proud of our students who have achieved first place in the undergraduate category of the History of Advertising Trust competition, which was run in partnership with Ginsters.🥇

Georgie Burnett, Lucy Look, Violet de Bunsen and Kitty McLean, formed team ‘Proper Pasty’. Their campaign, ‘Grow up with Ginsters’, earned glowing feedback from an expert judging panel of leading marketing and advertising professionals.

A massive well done to the team on their fantastic achievement.👏👏
