Creating business impact through knowledge engagement
Hear from expert commentators how business thinking and research can start to answer some of our toughest questions
Knowledge engagement
Knowledge engagement drives our activities and is the means by which Plymouth Business School seeks to share ideas, information and research.

If you are an employer, knowledge engagement is how we ensure that our students have the skills, attributes and experience that you require. We encourage close interaction between employers and our students.
