Brunel is one of several leading business schools across the country teaching the government-backed ‘executive development’ course, which is 90% subsidised by government and so only costs local businesses £750.

There are 30,000 places available nationally on the course which aims to help business leaders and entrepreneurs develop their strategic skills, create jobs and boost performance while they manage their day job. Key modules cover financial management and digital adoption with participants backed to develop a tailored business growth plan.
