Supporting your business with strong commercial links, locally and internationally, the Faculty of Business and Law at Anglia Ruskin University is committed to helping you achieve your goals.
You can rely on our Faculty, like the organisations who already share long-standing and valued partnerships with us. We collaborate with the Ministry of Defence, regional small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and local authorities. Our growing reputation inspires trust in leading brands such as Barclays Bank, UPS and Harrods. This broad range of collaborations and the core expertise of our people means our partnerships are personal and flexible.
We apply the latest academic thinking to help support you by constantly interacting with contemporary business issues. This is reinforced by strong connections to the city, with London transport links and our academics’ diverse business backgrounds - from PricewaterhouseCoopers, to Forbes and The Economist.
What’s more, you can develop your expertise through recognised qualifications with reliable content. Many of our courses are also recognised by organisations, such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), and a large number are professionally accredited.
Working in partnership with Barclays PLC, the Business School has developed an innovative, three year work-based BA (Hons) Degree in Management and Leadership, which forms the academic route for the Barclays Degree Programme. Launched in 2008, successful candidates secure employment with Barclays while studying for their degree. In September 2013, the partnership extended with the Certificate in Leadership programme, the academic route for the Level 4 Apprentice programme and internal talent pipeline. The programme is a highly attractive prospect for both existing and new talent within the company.
