School of Management
60th Anniversary
September 2023 sees the School of Management celebrate its 60th Anniversary.
Since its inception in 1963 (pre-dating the foundation of the University of Bradford), it has been pioneering in its approach. It was one of the first business schools in the country and one of the first UK-based schools to launch an MBA.
Throughout the 2023/24 academic year the School will mark our milestone anniversary with a series of events and activities including the Annual Management Lecture, Academic Conference and a special celebration ball. Over the year you can keep up to date on ongoing activity and see a timeline of the schools history on our 60th anniversary page.
Our student-centred approach, coupled with our excellent ties to industry and world-leading research is reflected both in our funding successes for new programmes and our numerous awards. We are proud to be celebrating 60 years in business and we look forward to 60 more.
