Why Warwick Business School?
Warwick Business School isn’t just a world-class business school at the heart of a worldclass university; we’re a hub
Our CORE values
Curiosity We’re not just problem solvers, we’re problem seekers – we challenge, we embrace different perspectives, and we think creatively to build our future.
of curiosity that is constantly challenging the status quo, and championing business as a power for good. We welcome the curious, the open, the restless and the excellent from all over the world to create a community of Change Makers. Our courses will open doors and create opportunities; to start careers, launch
Openness We’re open to new voices, viewpoints, and ideas. We always consider the big picture and understand there’s more than one solution to a problem.
A top ranked school We were the first UK business school to be triple accredited and to receive the Athena SWAN Gold Award for improving gender equality. Our courses consistently rank highly; our Global Online MBA is second in the world (Financial Times’ Online MBA Ranking 2023) , our Executive MBA is ranked second in the world for career progression (Financial Times’ Executive MBA Ranking 2023) , and our BSc Management and BSc International Management are ranked second in the UK (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024). Our achievements are a testament to our world-class teaching and faculty, and the quality of our degrees.
Proud to be different However, we’re more than our rankings and we’re proud to be different. We’re down to earth, approachable and we want our School to feel like home to our students. We foster and encourage an environment where new ideas can flourish, the status quo can be challenged and where it’s not about always being right, but about doing things the right way. We’re here to support and motivate every student to unlock their full potential, and achieve their ambitions. But we’re not here to hold hands; we’ll push, critique, and challenge to bring out their inner Change Maker. Our students are further supported in this by our excellent in-house CareersPlus team who help them to think about their career goals and support their ambitions in the pre-arrival stage, as they study with us, and after graduation as members of our alumni community.
Who are we looking for? WBS is for the Change Makers. A Change Maker thinks beyond themselves and their environment; they’re open to other viewpoints and they consider the ripple effect of what they do on a personal, social, and commercial level. They’re driven by having the biggest positive impact and a focus on the greater good. Change Makers don’t just accept things at face value; they question and challenge, and they have the drive and work ethic
Restlessness We never stop looking for ways to improve and we’re never satisfied with standing still. We use all of our initiative, drive, and resourcefulness to find the answers.

Being a Change Maker isn’t about where you’re from, it’s about where you want to go and how you’re going to get there.
