Inward Investment
In line with the School’s future ambitions to join a global elite of triple-accredited Business Schools, the University has recognised the need for significant investment in new infrastructure.

The new building will be ready in April 2013.
In preparation for the move, the School has recruited additional professional services staff and restructured teams in order to meet the challenges of the future. New positions have been created to support marketing, student experience, business development, alumni and careers activities.

Our National Student Survey results rank us in the top 10 universities overall for student satisfaction.
