About
The Big Picture Seminars are a series of guest seminars, given by industry professionals from a variety of fields. They share their expertise on a range of topics – from entrepreneurialism, leadership and management to financial forecasting, the economic climate and the media today.
The array of speakers and subjects are designed to appeal to a wide selection of students, with the intention that the lectures will meet some of their learning needs, or teach them something new, as well as inspiring them for the future.
The series has grown into a full programme of events, attracting high profile speakers, covering a wide range of topics and appealing to as many as possible. The programme is also accessible to the local communities, so they too can benefit from the wealth of knowledge the Business School has access to.
‘We are immensely proud of our Big Picture Series which brings together speakers from a range of diverse backgrounds to inform, inspire and motivate our students to make a difference and realise their dreams.’
- Professor Leigh Doster, Pro Vice-Chancellor & Executive Dean of 杏吧app下载 Business School.
