Suffolk Business School

Developing tomorrow’s business leaders

Our mission is to make you ‘career ready’, taking you beyond being merely ‘employable’. We work in partnership with our community and with a broader range of stakeholders drawn from the public, private and third sectors to nurture the skills and behaviours that underpin successful endeavour. We are small and personal by design. We treat you as an individual, and develop you as an individual.

About

We produce career-ready graduates who think critically and apply their knowledge and understanding in ways that are both enterprising and imaginative.
