It is home to a major financial services sector (JP Morgan Chase, Nationwide Building Society and Liverpool Victoria among others) as well as having the largest concentration of language schools outside London and many national headquarters including the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and Sunseeker International.

The university is a powerful player in the economic and cultural life of South West England. It is at the hub of a network of educational, business and local government partners and will be playing our part in the region’s preparations for the 2012 Olympics.

The university has completed a multi-million pound investment in the Executive Business Centre on its Lansdowne Campus. The building will become a focal point for executive education, enterprise and entrepreneurship for the local business community and the wider region. It will also host the Business School’s postgraduate portfolio, including the university’s new flagship programme, the Bournemouth MBA.
