What Business Schools Do

The strategic context

UK business schools have an enviable reputation internationally and attract more
than 100,000 students annually from other EU countries and from overseas. Judged
by their research output, by demand for their courses, and by the quality of student
experience they provide, our schools lead the way in Europe and beyond.

Business schools are, however, also operating in a fast-moving economic and
political environment, which brings opportunities and challenges alike. The global
higher education market remains strong: there is everything to play for. But the
emergence of new providers, combined with pressures on the public funding of
universities and political sensitivity in relation to immigration, means that UK
business schools cannot simply wait and hope for the best.

As the voice of business schools, the role of the Association is to shape events as
well as to respond to them – to influence the environment in which our members
operate and to help equip them with the skills and resources they need to maintain
their international standing.
