Academic courses

AN INTRODUCTION

Our academic courses are built around a specific theme that integrates into a wider programme syllabus. Courses may be credit bearing or optional, as per the requirements of your institution, and are geared towards one of three formats of delivery: 

ACADEMIC QUALITY

Outlander Consulting’s founding team includes partners with familiarity in university accreditations and Dean-level experience at a leading international business school. We therefore understand the importance of academic quality and oversight in educational programmes.

When managing academic courses, Outlander Consulting only introduces experienced faculty with a proven record for delivering at world-renowned institutions. Full disclosure is provided in advance of a programme and your institution has final say as to which faculty are selected on the programme. Syllabuses, including specific learning objectives, activities and assignments, and core readings are also agreed in advance of programme delivery.

We actively encourage our partner university’s Programme Director to meet in person or electronically each faculty member before delivery in order to provide non-diluted introductions to student background and the wider programme context, as well as to gain a greater confidence towards the quality of the final programme.

Industry visits, guest speakers and other out-of-class activities can add tremendous value to a students’ learning experience. As with our process for broader academic courses, all activities are organised in order to achieve pre-determined learning objectives. The role of Academic Director (provided by us or you) is highly important in helping students to draw direct linkages between organised activities and in-class learning, thus creating the most engaging and applied learning experience.

Core add-ons

As with any great programme, we make sure to offer a wide range of opportunities for students to gain exposure to the wider business world. Our team has experience organising over 1,000 student events, so you can rest assured that your course is in safe hands.
