NCS Links and Partners

What links or partnerships does the NCS have?

The NCS has very strong links with many of the worlds’ best known universities and we also have a strategic partnership with UCL, a leading Russell Group University. This partnership provides our students with unique access to world class facilities, academics and research as well as bespoke opportunities developed in conjunction with UCL.

KPMG, one of the ‘big four’ accountancy firms, sits on our governing board which is fantastic for students who are interested in becoming an accountant or being part of financial and professional services more generally.

We have links to some of the world’s leading companies in a range of different sectors giving our students insight into many different career paths. Experts from these professions routinely visit the NCS to share their experience, talk about opportunities and provide updates on the latest developments in their profession. Our Emerging Talent Programme has been designed in collaboration with experts in their field to ensure that it is up to date, relevant and provides the training needed to give our students a competitive advantage.
