History lesson Over a hundred years ago it was a founding condition of the University of Birmingham that business studies should be taught. This tradition of management education has been given a contemporary edge with the school’s recent move into University House, a purpose-designed new home. University House is situated in its own extensive landscaped grounds on the edge of the University of Birmingham campus. A multi-million pound teaching and learning centre with state-of-the-art facilities has been added to the original historic building of 1908.
It offers the best of both worlds: an elegant and atmospheric building in keeping with the school’s long history and tradition, coupled with extensive teaching and learning facilities appropriate for the 21st century. Students from all around the world choose to study at the school and each year it expects to represent over 50 different nationalities on the MBA. The Birmingham MBA appeals to international students because of its relevance and global perspectives and because of the support the university and school offer students from overseas.
The masterstroke Taking an MBA is one of the most important decisions you will ever make; along with where to study it. Birmingham Business School has been a major player in business education for more than a century and provides a wide variety of highly regarded programmes across a range of business disciplines.
