When the new
Plymouth Business School
opens, it will include an upgraded
Bloomberg Interactive Learning Suite
, where students learn how to analyse financial markets, as well as a Maritime Suite and a Language Lab.
Through the School’s teaching and facilities, students will acquire the skills they need to succeed in their chosen career, alongside developing an understanding of their sustainability and social responsibilities.
Courses like our marketing programme are consistently ranked among the best in the country, and the Business School attracts significant numbers of international students. Our industry-led programmes equip graduates to be successful, and we know the quality of our teaching and support is already held in high regard. This new home for the School will create an exciting new space in which current and future students can foster the knowledge and enthusiasm that they will need to achieve their ambitions.

Fitzroy will also provide a new location for
