This will offer interview coaching, industry workshops, and access to employer networks, ensuring that graduates are fully equipped to navigate the global job market.

Professor Nick Wilton, Dean of Oxford Brookes Business School, said: "This partnership with Twin Group strengthens our commitment to postgraduate student success. By embedding professional experience into our MSc programme, we are ensuring that our graduates leave with both the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills employers demand.

“We are also delighted that this collaboration allows us to offer three intake points for  our MSc International Business Management course, which provides flexibility for students looking to begin their studies at a time that best suits their career plans. It also expands access to a programme that is highly valued by international students seeking strong industry connections, employability support, and opportunities to gain real-world business experience alongside their academic studies."
