The Curriculum

Our curriculum is structured to give you a strong foundation in international business. Project work reinforces practical skills and the real-life application of classroom learning.

Hults Action Projects

By applying classroom learning to actual business situations, you’ll gain a powerful education that demonstrates how business is conducted. Earn academic credit, gain professional skills, and get invaluable exposure to the world on an Action Project.

An integral part of Hult’s LEAP curriculum

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.

Participate in an Action Project abroad

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.

Action Project Highlights

 
 

  • Duracell

    a part of Procter & Gamble and the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of high-performance alkaline batteries.

    Problem:

    With the proliferation of non-traditional distribution channels as well as the expansion of Duracell products from batteries to a variety of personal power solutions, additional business models that incorporate a direct-to-consumer solution are emerging.

  • Verizon Communications

    Fortune 13 company with over USD90 billion in annual revenues. Verizon Wireless is America’s largest cellular provider with more than 91 million subscribers while Verizon Business has more than 71,000 enterprise customers worldwide and 190,000 medium business customers in the U.S.

    Problem:

    Traditional products of Verizon suffer from the economic equivalent of the “Moore’s Law” problem. That is to say, prices -- of a long-distance call, a voice minute, a megabyte of data, or a specific connectivity product like a T1 line -- all decline exponentially over time.

    Question:

    How should Verizon Business leverage its position and assets to create or dominate one or more markets that can bring substantial new long-term revenue growth?

    Problem:

    Mobile solutions and services (printing from your mobile device) is a rapidly growing niche in both developed and emerging markets. At the same time, it is a very crowded and rapidly changing space with new applications and new players emerging constantly.

    Question:

    What business opportunities exist in this space for Xerox?
