University applicants got a crash course in success during the Brunel Business Boot Camp, which took place from 20 – 22 February 2013. A second Boot Camp will be organised by Brunel Business School at the beginning of April 2013.
The Business Boot Camp at Brunel Business School is an exclusive event for candidates holding an offer to pursue their Business Degree in Brunel University. The Boot Camp is a residential event, allowing participants to truly experience being a student and living on campus.
This interactive event offers participants an opportunity to:
- Engage within a stimulating learning environment
- Be exposed to the latest business thinking
- Develop aptitude and critical thinking skills
- Be exposed to motivational speakers such as “Meet the Apprentice” Saira Khan, as seen on TV
- Participate in business simulation games
- Network with other high achieving applicants
- Experience what it’s like being a University student before actually going to a University
- Get a taste of Brunel Business Life Employability Programme
Here’s what some the participants of the February 13’ Boot Camp had to say about the event in the Boot Camp Facebook Group:
