Connected to Business
Essex Business School develops long term partnerships with private, public
and third-sector organisations.
The business school for a new world
At Essex Business School we understand and examine the issues facing business
today, and we offer a new approach to business which both adds economic value
and recognises the social, environmental and ethical implications of current
strategies and practices.
Holistic approach
We believe that this holistic approach makes good
business sense. This approach runs through all our teaching and research and characterises
the culture of the business school.
External partnerships
Our external partnerships extend from our
Advisory Board and our
Executive Fellows to our many
Partner Organisations.
It is the development of these long-term client relationships that is key to
our provision of a complete range of high quality services to both the business
and not-for-profit community, including degree courses, training programmes,
policy oriented research, and consultancy and advice services.
Some of the ways in which we work with business include:
- Student placements

further short courses and training for individuals and businesses.
