Newcastle Business School - part of Northumbria University
With the world of business getting more competitive and complex, a high-level qualification is no longer an option, it's a necessity.
Across the globe, Newcastle Business School has achieved a reputation for delivering leading edge business education and management development that's both relevant and responsive.
Our roots go back over 50 years with the Business School adopting its current name in 1989. Since then, as one of the longest established UK business schools, we have been "Inspiring Excellence" in organisations and individuals worldwide.
Students receive first class teaching from highly qualified professionals with considerable industry experience.
Our size, infrastructure and resources enable us to offer an unprecedented range of programmes - University Certificates, BAs, Masters, MBA, DBA and PhDs.
Many are available on a part-time or distance learning basis, and all our undergraduate programmes include a year's placement in industry.
The cream of tomorrow's business achievers
Newcastle Business School's results are consistently outstanding. So much so that our students are recognised around the world as the cream of tomorrow's business achievers.
Our graduates don't just get a generous head-start on the career ladder; they are in consistent demand by top global organisations.
In fact employers attach such value to Newcastle Business School students that as many as 96% can expect to be employed or continuing higher education within six months of graduation.
A truly international experience
The international dimension of business is more important than ever. Organisations are reshaping themselves in response to globalisation. As a result, a qualification from an institution with a solid worldwide presence is vital.
Newcastle Business School has a long-established network of corporate and academic partners which brings a strong international focus to everything we do.
It also means that students can study for a Newcastle Business School qualification abroad at one of our partner institutions in Europe or Asia.
Plus, at our campus in Newcastle city centre we welcome students from all over the world bringing a rich multicultural diversity to our programmes and social activities as well as the unique opportunity to share broader perspectives.
