Not only can people learn about the courses, they can talk face to face with Professor Dana Brown, one of the country's leading business experts.

Professor Brown has been appointed Principal of Leicester Castle Business School following a glittering career, which has seen her play a key role in the start-up phase of Amazon and appointed Director of the MBA at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School.

She said: "Come along for a chat and find out how you can go beyond business as usual with our new courses.

"Leicester Castle Business School has been created by De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) in response to the need for a new kind of institution capable of responding to a rapidly changing world.

"All our courses will provide students with the skills needed to become shapers and leaders in global business, with the four new master's options aimed at high-calibre students who want to stand out in the international employment market.

"I'm looking forward to meeting prospective students and introducing them to the business school, sharing with them the unique opportunities being offered."
