Business Integration Project
The Business Integration Project (BIP) is the capstone project of your MBA. It is a significant consultancy-style assignment that challenges you to solve a real organisational problem using the knowledge and skills you’ve developed throughout the programme.
You can focus on your own organisation, an entrepreneurial venture, or a client company. Guided by a faculty supervisor, you’ll integrate learning from across modules to deliver actionable insights with measurable business impact.
By completing the project, you’ll demonstrate your ability to:
- Analyse complex challenges using data, theory, and strategic thinking.
- Communicate recommendations effectively to senior stakeholders.
- Deliver practical solutions that drive change and create value.
Many students use the BIP as a launchpad for career progression, presenting their findings to senior management, shaping a business case for promotion, or building the foundation for a new venture.
