ESCP Business School is proud to announce that it has been shortlisted for the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) UK Business School of the Year Award 2024.
This recognises the School's remarkable growth, impact and innovation in the UK during the 2022-2023 academic year.
Celebrating its 20th year, the THE Awards (widely referred to as the "Oscars of higher education") highlight excellence across the UK and Irish education sectors. ESCP’s London Campus previously won UK Business School of the Year in 2018.
Following the recent acquisition of Degree Awarding Powers in the UK, this shortlisting reinforces ESCP’s position in the UK market, where the School is currently placed 2nd in the Financial Times' 2023 European Business School ranking.
In its 2024 submission, ESCP London Campus showcased a year of major achievements, focusing on sustainability, research growth, and enhanced student experience. The Campus integrated sustainability modules and practical projects into all its programmes. Collaborations with Climate Fresk, Camden Climate Alliance, Climate Essentials, Better Futures+, Think and Do Camden and Sulitest TASK, and launching custom training with AXA Climate School enabled 100% of students and staff to receive training on global environment and social challenges. Additionally, ESCP London Campus achieved a 20% increase in world-leading research publications and took significant steps to reduce its environmental footprint, including a reusable eco-cups initiative that nearly eliminated single-use container waste on campus.
This recognition as a finalist for the Times Higher Education's UK Business School of the Year Award underscores our commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and fostering future business leaders ready to address global challenges. We are immensely proud of the achievements and progress made by our students, faculty, and staff.
We are constantly innovating to ensure our students have the knowledge and skills to excel in an ever-changing world. By integrating topics of technological, ecological, and societal transformation and offering real-life projects, company collaborations, and internships across all our programmes, we are determined to inspire the next generation of purpose-driven leaders who will positively impact the world.
