On 1 October, the University of Southampton will be launching the Southampton Business School.

The vision for the School is:

‘For ambitious leaders who want to change the world, Southampton Business School provides a transformational experience, connecting people and organisations to deliver ground breaking social and economic impact’.

Moving forward, the school will build on the strong foundations of the current Management School and exemplify the University’s strategic ambitions of distinction, globalisation and growth.  It will be a rewarding place to teach, study, carry out research and to work with enterprise.

Southampton Business School programmes and activities will ultimately extend across the University, drawing upon the established academic strengths and connections of the University to establish a distinctive, internationally competitive position to attract the best UK and international students.

The next couple of years will be an exciting and interesting time and, to get a better insight into the way the University is presenting Southampton Business School, please click here to see a leaflet which will form part of the publicity campaign promoting the new school. A new web site for Southampton Business School will also be going live shortly and the URL for that will be made available shortly.

For new and returning students to Southampton Business School the immediate operational impact of these changes will be minimal, as the new business school will  continue to deliver the same high quality programmes and further improve them. The launch of the new business school will make no change to the qualification existing business school students earn, as that is awarded by the University of Southampton.
