A Global Approach to Business: We are the country's first Business School, established in 1902. Internationalism was vitally important to us from the start, with students from countries such as Peru, Russia, India, Japan and Poland choosing to study here from the very beginning. We still believe that the global nature of business makes it essential that our students and academics understand business from different international perspectives.
