Case Study - Integrated Student Development for Manchester University

Run as an integrated programme for all three engineering disciplines, students experienced running a business simulation over five virtual years in a real time period of three months.

The nature of the exercise highlighted the importance of team working to all participants and the realism of the simulation thoroughly tested their ability to deal with the uncertainties that are thrown up on a daily basis in the world of commerce. The adjudicators of the module were highly impressed with the final presentations and the learning achieved, seeing it as highly relevant to the needs of the world of employment and providing added value to the degree.
