Welcome from the Director of Kingston Business School Kingston Business School has a long and rich history, and today is one of the leading institutions for the provision of business and management courses. Our portfolio extends across numerous areas including accounting and finance, human resource management and marketing and also includes our flag-ship Kingston MBA programme. Strongly embedded in the school is the desire to pursue world-class research, and we undertake collaborations with researchers and organisations across the world to study and develop new and influential ideas. These projects involve large multi-national companies in both the public and private sector as well as many small businesses. Many of our alumni now hold very senior positions up to CEO’s and Directors of small to medium sized companies both within the private and public sector across the globe.
We are the first business school in the world that has received accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA) for all its Business Administration programmes (Master’s in Business Management, the Kingston MBA including its executive variants and the Kingston DBA). Plus we have also been awarded EPAS accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) for two sets of management programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. At doctoral level our MSc in Management and Business Studies Research is recognised by the ESRC, and is the pathway to the ESRC recognised PhD. The environment that you are taught in is key to providing you with a fulfilling and exciting study experience, and helping to ensure that you are well equipped to meet the challenges that postgraduate study will bring. Our safe, green Kingston Hill campus offers the setting for you to receive the quality teaching we pride ourselves on, from our wide group of diverse, professional and supportive academics.
