Durham Business School to be re-named Durham University Business School
Durham Business School is to be re-branded as Durham University Business School to better align it with its parent organisation Durham University - one of the world's leading research and teaching universities. The re-branding will take place immediately following an extensive and thorough internal and external consultation. Durham University Business School is among the leading business schools in the world with high demand for its graduates. The triple-accredited school attracts students from 130 nations and has been praised for its pioneering links with business and employability, such as the KPMG School Leavers' programme. Durham is ranked a world top 20 university by leading recruiters for the quality of its graduates in the 2012 QS World University Rankings. The Leading Edge personal development programme and international study options like the Sri Lanka development project are key features of its full-time MBA programme. Its Executive MBA attracts candidates from the world's leading companies and around 700 students are currently undertaking the Global MBA, recently ranked 7th in the distance learning rankings by QS.
