ITMB students have the opportunity to attend our regular Industry Insight Lecture Series, delivered by leading companies. ITMB students are also able to take part in the yearly Tech Partnership event, attended by over 200 students from across the country, and over 50 companies each year.The Tech Partnership, the current accreditation body for the ITMB degree scheme, will cease operations in 2018. Negotiations between the Tech Partnership and a number of other institutions are underway to find a new accreditation body to take over the ITMB degree scheme nationwide. Regardless of the outcome of the current negotiations we will offer an equivalent programme going forwards. For ITMB at Loughborough this may require modifications to content and/or degree scheme title in the future.
