Corporate sponsorship

Employers can demonstrate their commitment to employee career progression by sponsoring employees through a GCU MBA. Many organisations find MBA sponsorship a valuable way to attract, reward and retain talented employees who wish to take their careers to the next level.

The GCU MBA programme emphasises responsible leadership and international management strategy and the university has responded to a worldwide call to put social responsibility, ethics and sustainability at the top of the agenda for training future business leaders by becoming a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact-backed initiative the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).

With a strong practical and professional approach to business growth, GCU ensures that the MBA programme provides your employees with real-world work projects with tangible outputs and skills to embed within your organisation.

Scholarships available to organisations sponsoring students. Scholarship amount depends on the number of students sponsored:

• 1 student 25% scholarship
• 2 students 30% scholarship
• 3 students 35% scholarship
• 4 or more students 40% scholarship

to discuss your organisation’s needs.

Please note: an applicant can only apply for one level of support (scholarship or scheme) at any one time. Awards are not additive. If an applicant is eligible for 2 awards, only the larger award will be given. Also, no scholarships will be offered to students who are already sponsored except as part of our Corporate Sponsorship scheme.

A discount of 20% off a taught postgraduate course is available to students starting in 2013/14 who have received their undergraduate qualification from GCU (or one of our founding institutions).
