y was awarded the coveted title of ‘University of the Year’ by Times Higher Education.

This was particularly good news for The SimVenture Team because over the past 3 years the software had been supplied to three separate departments within the institution.

Mike Ashwell who works within the Business School bought 50 licences and started using the software in 2009.

He says of his work: “My task was to identify and implement Business Simulation software so that we could deliver a totally new Business Decision Making module to over 160 undergraduate students.

“I was delighted that SimVenture met our needs perfectly, and supported real innovation in our business teaching – as befits the current University of the Year.”
