SBS shortlisted for THE ‘Business School of the Year’ award
Strathclyde Business School has been shortlisted for the Times Higher Education (THE) ‘Business School of the Year’ award 2024.
Widely recognised as ‘the Oscars of higher education', the THE Awards attract hundreds of entries each year from all corners of the UK and Ireland that showcase the talent, innovation and commitment of individuals and teams across all aspects of university life.
The Business School of the Year award goes to the business school demonstrating the most outstanding overall performance during the 2022-23 academic year.
SBS is one of six business schools up for the coveted award. The awards focus primarily on activity during the 2022-23 academic year. For Strathclyde, the submission focused on our innovative Global Practitioners initiative and the setting up of the Stephen Young Institute for International Business thanks to the Charles Huang endowment alongside our work with business and industry, creating societal impact, impacting public policy and benefiting both society and business.
Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on November 28 at the ICC in Birmingham. On the night, the THE awards will also be celebrating 20 years of honouring the very best in higher education.
Professor David Hillier, Executive Dean of Strathclyde Business School, said, “The news that we have been shortlisted for this prestigious award is very welcome. It means what we offer as a business school to the wider world is gaining recognition - in this instance, from an organisation with in-depth expertise in higher education and business school operations. Being shortlisted shows that our innovative approach has been noticed and acknowledged.
“THE awards are highly regarded and we’re delighted to have had success in the past, both at a university and business school level. It's gratifying to see the innovative projects we've pursued being recognised alongside our core focus on teaching, research, and consultancy and we look forward to the awards in November.”
