The School was founded in 1997, but our origins go back even further to the 1970s. Westminster Business School is now embarking on an exciting new phase of development. In 2009 we combined with the former Harrow Business School and now provide higher education for 4,000 students, a quarter of whom are studying for postgraduate degrees.

Our portfolio of courses includes Bachelor's and Master’s degrees as well as professionally focused short courses, many of which are accredited by national and international professional bodies.

Our students benefit from our strong industry links through placement and internship opportunities, and we play an important role in our students' lives by developing and nurturing the skills that are vital in their future careers.

Our research is concentrated in the following areas:

• Centre for Employment Research

• Centre for Research in Finance and Financial Services

• Pensions Research Network

• Centre for the Study of the Production of the Built Environment

• IDEaS - Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship and Strategy Research Group

We draw a sizeable proportion of our students from overseas, while at the same time focusing upon providing business and management education for UK students entering the business professions and also for those returning to undertake postgraduate study to further their careers.
