There are many leadership lessons that can be learnt from the world of sport, with experience at a professional level applicable to the business world. Athletes demonstrate leadership, dedication and focus, qualities which we believe make an invaluable contribution to our MBA cohort.

This scholarship was set up to recognise the strong link between athletes and business, and to help candidates make the step from sport into achieving business dreams.
