Faculty of Business, Enterprise & Lifelong Learning

Chester is one of the great European Cities - international, with a rich roman history, border City, walled fortress and trading centre. Here in the School we pride ourselves on being very focussed on developing and supporting sustainable businesses, organisations and communities, whether they be in the private or public sector.

We have a high quality tradition in providing management and leadership training to some of the leading local authorities and government organisations in the Region. We also work with many international organisations in the private sector, such as Bank of America, Unilever amongst others.

A particular attraction to us is helping build and sustain the great businesses and organisations of the Region, whether they be small, medium or large and make sure they are vibrant and develop people to reach their potential and beyond.

The School's prime aim as an active member of the European Federation of Management Development (EFMD) and the Association of Business Skills (ABS) is to develop and train people and organisations to be successful businesses.
As a School we lead with internationally recognised work in managing change, public affairs and work-based learning systems.

We are committed to high-quality public services and the development of entrepreneurism to build viable businesses and ensure that services are delivered effectively by the private and public sectors.
As a multi-disciplinary based School, we offer a full portfolio of Business, Finance, Marketing and Advanced Management Education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

This includes our MBA and specialised Masters programmes and taught Doctoral programmes designed for those aspiring to be Chief Executives or leaders in business ideas. Our international links are growing and for us, and our Region, these include active collaborations in China, India, USA and across Europe amongst others.

We see Chester as being a place where people can learn how to develop and strengthen business in the international context.

I hope I have the chance to meet you and welcome you personally to the School and University.
