Birmingham Business School

At Birmingham Business School we deliver world-class research and teaching that provides the insight, ambition and skills to shape advanced and sustainable business strategies. Our vision is to inspire curiosity and drive change globally in the field of responsible business research and education.

Our mission is to deliver:

• A distinctive student experience where students have the opportunity to engage with industry professionals and world-leading researchers, and feel part of an international learning community.
• Internationally recognised research focusing upon and providing responses to the key challenges around responsible business that face our economy and our society regionally and globally.
• An environment where both staff and students are able to thrive and achieve their best work.

Birmingham Business School is consistently found in global ranking tables and accredited by leading bodies, AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB. The triple-crown accreditation confirms our position within an elite group of global business schools. We have an enviable Advisory Board that we work closely with, an excellent level of engagement with regional and international businesses and strong links with policy makers involved with economic growth and business.

Birmingham Business School is already globally renowned for the quality of our research and teaching. With students representing over 60 countries currently studying at our main campus, our courses being taught in a range of international business schools, and an international faculty and global alumni community of around 23,000 graduates, we have a global footprint that ensures worldwide impact.

Our dedication to providing our students with a rich educational experience within our Business School has led to increased investment in our career services and corporate relations programme. This will further enhance the already excellent career prospects of our graduates, with additional opportunities for project work and internships with leading global businesses.

Our continued commitment in providing an exceptional standard of education has seen the investment of £10 million in an award-winning Postgraduate Teaching Centre named the Alan Walters Building, which opened its doors in autumn 2016 and is devoted to the teaching of postgraduate courses in Birmingham Business School, including MBAs. Further to this, in the coming years the main Business School facility located at University House will undergo a further multi-million pound extension with additional state-of-the-art teaching and learning spaces.

We know that innovation and globalisation will continue to reshape global business in the future. To this end our goal is to provide an education that will inspire and inform our graduates to navigate the ever-changing and evolving landscape of global business.
