Talent pipeline
Recruit, select and develop your own talent pipeline with a sponsored in-company degree programme.
Companies are becoming increasingly involved with universities through placements and sponsored degrees as an essential element in managing their recruitment and talent pipeline.
Nottingham Business School offers two types of sponsored degrees
Three year sponsored
- The first involves students working full-time at your company whilst concurrently studying for their honours degree. The programme allows companies to recruit directly from A-Level students or from within their existing staff, as an internal talent development route.
- Related Nottingham Business School courses: BA (Hons) Management and Leadership, BA (Hons) Management and Finance and BA (Hons) Management and Marketing.
Two year sponsored
- The second involves students studying for a year at Nottingham Trent University before working at your company in years two and three. Although working full-time in years two and three, students will be required to complete University assignments and attend study weeks.
- Related Nottingham Business School courses: BA (Hons) Business Management (In-Company).
- Typically, employers financially sponsor the students on both routes by covering tuition fee cost (either fully or a proportion) and by providing a salary for the role they undertake within the company, as well as releasing them to attend the study blocks.

Recruiting talent into your organisation by sponsoring degrees has many benefits:
Recruit tomorrow’s managers by cultivating today’s talent
- These types of programmes tend to attract high quality, motivated students who may be adverse to debt and the financial implication of a conventional route through higher education, and those for whom employability is a key factor in their degree choice.
- Students are given the opportunity to undertake high level work roles (as they are in-company for two or three years, compared to the traditional one year placement).
Grow your graduate pool of talent
- Provides an opportunity for you to grow your own graduate pool of talent and hence reduce future graduate recruitment costs through higher retention rates.
- Grow the amount of CIMA qualified employers within a shorter time period with our BA (Hons) Management and Finance.
Benefit from the students learning experience
- On the BA (Hons) Management and Leadership, employers can work with the University to shape the degree offering according to their requirements, with modules focussing on a particular aspect of the business or specific issue for the company.
