Our LEAP Method employs an innovative curriculum—Learn, Experience, Action Project.
Employers want graduates who are job-ready. We’ve designed our curriculum so that you don’t just study abstract theory—you also get hands-on experience. Our innovative curriculum is based on three components, “Learn, Experience, Action Project”—LEAP. Hult has been able to carefully refine this program into one of the most valuable components of our innovative curriculum. By applying classroom learning to actual business situations, you’ll gain a powerful education that demonstrates how business is conducted.
Start your degree by learning theory and business fundamentals in the classroom. Hult enriches the traditional case method of learning by fostering interactive learning through thought-provoking discussions with students and faculty from around the world. We provide you with the theory, tools, terminology, and trends to give you a broad perspective on business and go beyond the theoretical to the practical.
Experience is a crucial component of our LEAP method. Translate theory into practice with insights from faculty with real-world experience, panel discussions with industry experts, exclusive networking opportunities, and company visits. Hear firsthand advice from executive speakers like Steve Forbes. Finally, Hult’s global campus rotation gives you the opportunity to experience the international value chain in person.
Every student participates in an Action Project where teams compete to solve an innovation or growth issue for a range of leading global companies, non-profits, or start-up enterprises. At the end, teams present recommendations to the company’s senior management. Hult is the only school that offers you the unique opportunity to work on real client problems in a low-risk setting, equipping you with practical, employment-enhancing skills.
Action Projects let you “learn by doing.” During each year of your studies, you will participate in an Action Project which will utilize the theory and skills learned in the classroom. Action Projects will be as closely matched to your academic interests and studies as possible and are credit-bearing courses that count toward graduation. An invaluable way to see how business is conducted on an international scale, Hult’s Action Projects are like working towards a mini-MBA.
Ensuring that you can apply your knowledge is central to our pedagogical philosophy. Hult’s curriculum has been designed so that you gain exposure to the world outside of the classroom through Action Projects. Each year, starting in Year One through to Year Four, your projects will become progressively more involved. Year One and Year Two Action Projects take place in London. During Years Three and Four, you may pursue your Action Projects at one of Hult’s global campuses.

In this summer Action Project, students participate in a project that tests their core business skills obtained during Years One through Three. Students are given the opportunity to work on an undergraduate project in London, or to participate alongside an MBA team on an MBA Action Project at any Hult campus (subject to availability). Students gain firsthand experience in tasks such as formulating a strategy, devising a business plan, working in a diverse team, and communicating at a professional, corporate level.
Working in teams to tackle real problems and issues, students use the processes and frameworks relevant to their concentration. Marketing students may help a retail chain consider its marketing mix, segmentation, targeting, and positioning; Social Entrepreneurship students might work to solve a pressing social problem for an INGO. For Year Four Action Projects, students are given the option of participating in a project alongside Hult Masters students (where the Master program corresponds to the concentration) at any Hult campus where such projects are taking place.
