Brunel Business School
Brunel Business School is a special place and one where our mission is to transform organisations by elevating leadership practices in business and management to the highest possible standards. We achieve this through interdisciplinary, internationally recognised and ethical research and knowledge exchange.
Our success comes from the extraordinary relationships that develop between our key stakeholders to form a thriving learning community. Students and alumni blend with management professionals, employers and businesses of all sizes to work together, bringing their own experiences and perspectives and generating much more than the sum of the parts.
Every step of the way, we draw inspiration from our namesake, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whose spirit of enterprise, of invention and of creativity shines through in our graduating students which is what employers tell us, makes them so sought after within the world of work.
And all of this is underpinned by brilliant academics - all thought leaders in their disciplines - and endorsed by prestigious accreditations such as the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

Our mission
Brunel Business School contributes to local and global business with the advancement and dissemination of management knowledge and business practice through our world-class research. We're committed to providing teaching of the highest quality by educating students using actionable research and evidence-based teaching so that they become self-fulfilled, entrepreneurial global business leaders.
Our close relationship with business allows students to experience real, challenging business environments. This prepares them to undertake high-value placements and internships, encouraging the development of innovative and entrepreneurial skills, in order to prepare them for their future.
We're proud of our supportive and empowering learning environment. Our pastoral care is second to none, fostering mutual understanding amongst students and staff with a collaborative and open working culture. Our inclusive staff and student body encourages social responsibility and brings dynamic and diverse perspectives.

Global futures
We don't just teach 'business', we teach business with a global focus.
