Students set up businesses while they are studying, and are supported from the outset to acquire the right skills to sustain their careers in the changing economic landscape.

The University is seeking a dynamic individual, who is both a highly credible business thinker and educator, but who also shares this University’s vision of building a ‘real’ business school.
This individual will understand current and emergent business markets, will be able to inspire and develop staff in the development of new types of curriculum to meet these markets, and will be able to produce high value graduates with the skills required for the future economy.
