UBC winners 2022

Aston MBA students take top prize at Universities Business Challenge Global Masters 2022

"UBC was a platform which allowed us to apply our theoretical knowledge to a complex and real-life business scenario. Analysing financial reports, making strategic decisions, and having an entrepreneurial mindset with a strong focus on sustainability have helped us enhance our future career goals. Above all, it was the team effort and the hard work of everyone involved that led to us winning the title of UBC champions, and it is incredibly fulfilling to be recognised for that work.”
