What our students say
"I found the residential an excellent way of developing a rapport with my fellow students. The biggest benefit for me was to be able to be in a position where the application of theory could be applied in a practical sense, which made the assignment much more interesting."
Umesh Sharma
What our lecturers say
"The residential gives the students an opportunity to practice what we have studied so far. Managing the Dynamic Organisation comes to life as students take on a variety of management challenges which replicate management processes in a fun environment. This also gives the opportunity to get to know each other in a social setting, which is essential in creating positive learning relationships as the masters courses progress."

Scalford Hall
The residential takes place at Scalford Hall - a picturesque Edwardian Country Mansion set in the rolling countryside of Leicestershire.
Its history includes being a weekend hunting lodge for Major Mann Thomson at the turn of the century, to its purchase post World War II by Colonel Colman (founder of Colman's Mustard). During his ownership, Edward and Mrs Simpson visited the hall regularly - a staircase still exists that was specially built for the lovers to visit each other as and when they pleased, as does an ornate fireplace in the main reception area, which was a gift to Colman from the King of England.
