First year students meet with employers
In November 2007 our first year B.Sc IT Management for Business students met with employers IBM, Microfocus and Procter and Gamble in a panel session organised by e-skills UK. Our students are wearing MBS T-shirts!

Manchester Business School Second Life Project
I am leading the MBS Second Life project. In collaboration with www.copop.co.uk we are developing a meeting place for staff, students, alumni and other MBS stakeholders. Our inlife activity is limited at present to 'invitation only' but we plan to open up the island to be used by all MBS registered email users, and allow booking of meeting rooms for MBS users and their guests.

The presentation below shows some of the concepts underpinning the design, layout and navigation of our island. We wanted something futuristic but at the same time linking to the industrial past of Manchester.
