Sponsoring Companies

For both participants and the sponsoring company, the programme’s impact is obvious. Participants bring their job experience to the classroom and take their classroom insights back to their jobs. Endorsement recognises that participants are investing company time by allowing employees to travel to our campus to complete the five residential modules of the Master in Finance programme. This is a material investment and as such, we would recommend a formal Endorsement Agreement.
