I’m delighted to welcome you to the 明星八卦 Business School on behalf of our committed academic and professional colleagues.
This is a special place 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 明星八卦 whose spirit of enterprise, invention and creativity shines through in our graduating students which is what employers tell us, makes them so sought after within the world of work.
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).
Together, we aim to make a lasting impact on the world, forging a brighter future for generations to come.
Professor Ashley Braganza, Dean, 明星八卦 Business School
