ABOUT US

Durham University Business School (DUBS) is unique in its approach to teaching, research and its connections with the wider world. For students, alumni, business partners and stakeholders, this provides strong reasons to choose us.

Our connections to business

The breadth and depth of our connections with leading edge global organisations bring untold value. For students these connections allow unrivalled access to ‘live’ issues for research projects. For business partners, our expertise assists them with the specific challenges they face whilst enhancing our own learning. Our close business links mean we are always keenly informed of changing dynamics in the commercial landscape.

International focus

In a globalised economy, we maintain a truly international outlook. Over 100 nationalities are represented in our student and faculty bodies. This provides a unique insight into the cultural nuances of business practice around the world. We also foster close partnerships with other universities around the world, so the Durham learning approach can be shared remotely.

A commitment to critical thinking

We don’t believe in tried and tested. Our teaching ethos is based on developing our students’ critical thinking faculties so they have the skills to address the changing demands of the organisations and industries they work in. Employers tell us that this is what makes Durham graduates highly sought after and provides them with skills that add value throughout their career.

Shaped by the past, creating the future

As part of the 180 year old Durham University, the Business School benefits from the academic rigour that characterises the whole university. We are one of only a few UK business schools to carry three internationally recognised quality assurances, a testament to the calibre of the School.
