Let's Get Down to Business

About the day

Hosted in our brand-new Cavendish Building, Let's Get Down to Business is an exciting and interactive opportunity for Year 12 and 13 students to gain an insight into Derby International Business School.

Through engaging sessions led by our expert academics and current students, attendees will gain first-hand insight into what it is like to study at an internationally recognised business institution.

Students will also learn about our strong industry partnerships with local and national businesses such as Rolls-Royce and the NHS. A highlight of the day is the opportunity to tackle real-world challenges in the form of a live brief from one of our industry links. Students will gain valuable experience pitching their ideas to a panel of business leaders and active researchers in the field. This part of the day encourages teamwork, creative thinking, and practical application of their learning in a professional context, helping you to meet Gatsby Benchmarks 5 and 7.

This event will also be running on Thursday 19 March 2026. Bookings open in November, contact sclteam@derby.ac.uk to register your interest.
