EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING
Our CORE values Curiosity Learning as a way of life: we challenge, we embrace different perspectives, and we think creatively to build our future. Openness Embracing diversity: we’re open to new voices, viewpoints, and ideas, recognising that there may be multiple solutions to any problem. Our transformative Foundation Year Programme reflects our commitment to providing access to higher education for talented and motivated students from all backgrounds. We’re the only Russell Group business school that sees all Foundation Year students gain a 100 per cent scholarship and guaranteed progression to one of our Undergraduate programmes for those who pass. Restlessness Challenging convention to find a better way: we use our initiative, drive, and resourcefulness to find answers and create real change. This sits at the heart of how we teach. Our faculty test, adapt, and refine their approach so courses stay current, connected, and designed with purpose. Excellence Never compromising our high standards: everything is done to the best of our ability and driven by a passion to achieve our goals. This is reflected in our impressive rankings results, TEF Gold, and the achievements of our faculty, students, and alumni.
A WBS education prepares students to make meaningful contributions to the world by building their knowledge, strengthening transferable skills, and inspiring curiosity, innovation, and ambition. Our teaching is transformational - shaping not only our students, but also our faculty, employers, and the wider business community. Informed by world-class research and grounded in real-world practice, our approach brings live case studies, industry insights, and immersive experiences directly into the classroom. We know that everyone learns differently and our aim is to make learning more interactive, inclusive, and effective, whether through live collaboration, recorded sessions, or simulations. We use digital tools that help people learn in ways that feel engaging, flexible, and are connected to real life. Our philosophy is rooted in our CORE values of Curiosity, Openness, Restlessness, and Excellence, and supported by three interconnected pillars that give learners and educators the space and time to reflect: learning as practice, teaching as practice, and inclusivity and choice.
The skills our graduates bring: The PRACTICE Framework To ensure our early-career students are truly graduate-ready, we’ve developed the PRACTICE Framework which is embedded into our curriculum. Designed in collaboration with industry, it includes the skills, mindset, and adaptability that businesses need now, as well as in the future. Our graduates are ready to delivery from day one and make an immediate impact.
