Global partnerships offer students a taste of what it will be like to problem-solve when dealing with international teams. Here, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School’s Liz Warren relates how her recent trip to India yielded tangible ideas and renewed energy for enhancing the business school experience and graduate outcomes Partnering progress FOR I n September, I travelled to India to represent Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) Business School at the inaugural UK/India Dialogue, organised by the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS). The event connected leaders from higher education to exchange ideas and insights and explore opportunities for collaboration on shared global challenges. As a member of the initiative’s UK Advisory Group, it was an opportunity to strengthen our international connections, explore new
possibilities and celebrate the unique relationship between the two countries. Many UK universities already have strong partnerships with India, from joint research projects to student mobility programmes. For them, the visit was about strengthening those ties. However, there were also chances to meet new people and understand how we can work together to enhance the student experience and improve graduate employability. Alongside the conference, my colleagues and I travelled across Delhi and Mumbai, visiting schools, agents and existing partners and connecting with alumni. Each conversation offered fresh insights, from how to strengthen academic mobility to how business schools can support local community development. We left with renewed energy and tangible ideas for future collaboration.
