About Durham University Business School
Founded in 1965, our Business School is one of the longest established in the UK and one of an elite group of institutions worldwide to be accredited by all three major bodies – the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). Since our founding in 1965, we have shaped generations of leaders, advanced groundbreaking research, and built a strong global community. With a portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral level programmes, our School combines academic excellence and incisive research with exceptional global business connections and excellent career development opportunities.
The Business School operates across two state-of-the-art locations: Mill Hill Lane and the newly opened Waterside building in the heart of Durham City Centre. The impressive 11,000-square-metre Waterside facility brings a dynamic new space to the School, enhancing its world-class learning environment. Teaching takes place across campus, and staff, students, and visitors have access to both locations.
The Business School is integral to Durham University, recently named ‘University of the Year 2026’ in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide. Our University is a globally outstanding centre of teaching and research excellence, and a member of the prestigious Russell Group of the UK’s leading research universities.
