Department info: Overview

The Newport Business School produces some of the most impressive student results of any Business School in the UK and beyond. The School’s mission is to provide students with all the support that they need throughout their studies, thereby ensuring that students have the best possible chance to develop their career or even to build a new one.

Postgraduate courses require a bachelors 2:2 minimum and an English language qualification.

Our MBA is a very attractive course, and does not require work experience. You can take certain modules in your area of choice, in several areas.

From January 2012 the School will relocate to the brand new City Campus in the heart of Newport, ideally located close to the M4 and adjacent to both the railway station and the riverfront. The new campus will be a hothouse of creativity and enterprise, which will enhance its links with the local, and business communities as well as really put the Business School on the map in a city which is developing fast.

The Newport Business School has assembled a team of professional staff, experts in their fields who are committed to ensuring that students get the support they need to flourish.

The University of Wales, Newport has been involved in higher education for more than 80 years and attracts students from all over the world.  There are few universities in the UK that can claim such a rich history in terms of training students to become business managers, qualified accountants and economists.

The University has a long tradition of providing high quality courses and has superb facilities, along with a team of well-qualified and experienced academic and support staff who care about all students.  The Business courses offered at Newport are modern, challenging and relevant to the needs of the corporate world in the 21st century. 

Newport lies at the gateway to Wales. It is under two hours from London and with a £35m investment into its new city centre riverside campus, Newport is a popular choice for students from all over the world. Newport’s reputation as a city undergoing major investment and innovation was underlined in the autumn of 2010 with the city playing host to the golfing Ryder Cup, the 3^rd biggest sporting event in the world, which took place at the Celtic Manor Resort just minutes away from Newport City Centre.
