Our advisory board

Norwich Business School have an Advisory Board that offers support and advice on key aspects of the School's development, in particular strategy and graduate employability.

Aims of the Board include:

  • To ensure our taught programmes are relevant to the needs of industry.

  • To discuss issues across admissions, placements, student recruitment, marketing, skills, succession, and accreditation.

  • To discuss current research themes and developments relevant to research groups.

  • To promote the School and University and support the harnessing of opportunities.

The powers of the Board will be limited to recommending lines of action based on strategic and operational information received from the School's Executive.

The final decision on whether to act on the recommendations will rest with the Head of School.

“I have had the honour of being a member of the NBS Advisory Board since 2018 and seeing how the school has navigated its way through a changing landscape during that time. The innovation of the leadership, the passion of the academics and the inspirational force of the students at NBS never fails to amaze me. I'm consistently impressed with how NBS as an organisation seeks input from the wider business community through the Advisory Board, bringing people from a brilliantly broad range of businesses and organisations into the fold, and enabling collaborations that set the students on paths towards their goals, dreams, and future successes.”
