About Warwick Business School

Warwick Business School is a leading European business school, providing undergraduate, Masters, MBA, MPA and research degrees, executive short course programmes for individuals and tailored for companies.

 

WBS is the first business school in the UK to gain accreditation from the leading management education associations in the USA, Europe and the UK. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, WBS was ranked fifth equal on the overall index of research quality. We submitted the second highest number of researchers, comprising over 90 per cent of our faculty. 75 per cent of our research was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent; on this measure we are ranked third. These figures give a real reflection of the high quality running across the breadth and depth of research at WBS.
