This is an exciting time to join us as we are looking to build on our current successes, our heritage and our strategic location, to become a leading School nationally and globally by investing in all areas of activity. We offer programmes at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, both nationally (from our Surrey and Central London campuses) and internationally through our global partnerships with the University of London.  We aim to provide an outstanding student experience, which teaches the skills needed to join leading organisations or set up new businesses. Our degrees in accounting and finance are accredited by professional bodies. Additionally, we are developing an ambitious portfolio of post-experience programmes.
