Our Executives and Entrepreneurs in residence scheme is a community of experienced business leaders and entrepreneurs, including Sheffield Business School and Sheffield Hallam alumni.
We have over 50 executives and entrepreneurs working with our students and academics. They share their real-world experiences and are champions of our mission to be a leading applied business school. Together we support our students to become responsible leaders for the future, making a positive impact on society.
They provide support for our students and academics in several ways, including:
- mentoring
- leadership
- shaping course and curriculum design
- masterclasses and guest lectures
- networking opportunities
- work experience and shadowing
- sharing industry experience
- support students with ambitions to start-up businesses
- expert panels on consultancy and entrepreneurial student projects
In 2021, we were awarded ‘Outstanding Entrepreneurial University of the Year’ for positive and lasting impact to teaching (THE Awards, 2021).
