“We provide a transformational experience for our students through personalised and experiential learning and are ambitious in creating globally responsible leaders through ethical, responsible and sustainable management education.”
Dr Alex Hiller, Director of Postgraduate Taught Programmes at Nottingham Business School, added: “We have worked hard to develop high quality postgraduate programmes to provide the best outcomes for our students. We are delighted that this has resulted in our inclusion in the Financial Times rankings for the last two years.”
