Consulting Case Competition
2026

Competition Overview
Across three sessions, we hope to bring together students and professionals from a range of multidisciplinary backgrounds to focus their efforts on analysing a fictitious consulting case.
The schedule consists of an online Information Webinar in October, followed by an online Mentorship Session and an in-person Competition Day in November. Along the way, competitors will learn the skills needed to analyse a case, discuss how to produce a consulting proposal, and finally pitch their findings to a panel of judges for the chance to win up to £600.
Why get involved?
The healthcare industry is constantly presented with unique challenges, which are overcome by professionals who have competencies in commercial awareness, critical thinking and team work. This competition offers students a chance to develop skills in all of these areas.
In addition, there will be opportunities to network throughout the competition and you might just get the right contact for your next job in consulting or pharmaceutical industry! Below, you will find links to documents providing details about the competition format and how to apply.
If you are interested in consulting, this is your chance to hone your skills!
