“In today’s rapidly evolving digital and AI-driven economy, it is essential that all graduates leave university with both cutting-edge analytical skills and real-world experience to make an immediate contribution to the workplace. Together with Grant Thornton, our new Business Intelligence and Analytics course ensures students gain practical, work-relevant knowledge that enhances their employability skills. This groundbreaking collaboration bridges the gap between academia and industry, empowering our graduates with digital skills and critical thinking skills demanded by modern employers”
Dr Andrew Bingham Dean, Teesside University International Business School
“The power of bringing Grant Thornton together with academia – and looking at how you equip yourselves for the future – lies in the unique blend each side brings. Academia has the great ability of picking out what the trends have been in the past, looking at research, and seeing what is that indication of success – what has made business successful. Then you bring in that commercial view: thinking about what clients and customers of tomorrow need. Being able to blend those two together helps identify the skills, the approaches and styles, and the cultural alignment that will be required to be successful.”
Robert Hannah Head of International, Grant Thornton
