Support Your Mission with Help from Strathclyde Business Students

6th June 2025

Work with Social Responsibility Pathway Students for mutual benefit

The Social Responsibility Pathway (CSR Pathway) is part of the Management Development Programme (MDP) for 3rd year students studying at the Strathclyde Business School. It is designed to give students experience of working with external organisations in real-life contexts while engaging in work with a positive social dimension. Students work with charities, organisations, or initiatives designed to counter various forms of disadvantage, allowing them to apply the skills developed on their degree courses to give back to the local community.

Get help with projects and provide real-world experience to students

Examples of the activities undertaken by MDP students for external organisations include:

·       Designing and managing fundraising events

·       Analysing statistics and evaluative data

·       Producing marketing materials and online resources

·       Developing HR policies and materials

·       Designing and producing educational programmes and materials

·       Designing and running evaluations and community consultations

The programme and timescales

Over the course of two semesters, September to December and January to March, students commit to 100 hours of work directly for the benefit of the organisation/initiative they are supporting. 

Examples of organisations that have worked with the CSR Pathway for a sustained period over several years include; Glasgow South-East Foodbank, Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, Calum’s Cabin, Annette Street Primary School, Glasgow’s Spirit of Christmas, Refuweegee and MCR Pathways.
