Warwick Business School Launches Entrepreneurship Program in London’s Shard

Warwick Business School: “Staff, academics, alumni, industry leaders and students have gathered on the 17th floor of The Shard to celebrate Warwick Business School’s 10-year anniversary at the iconic London building.

As well as highlighting a decade of academic excellence, professional development, and strategic influence in the heart of one of the world’s leading financial districts, the School announced it will be launching the Warwick Enterprise Start-up programme at WBS London at The Shard.

Jacky Swan, Pro-Dean (Teaching and Learning), said: “When we opened in 2015, we saw The Shard as more than just a base in the capital. It was a chance to bring WBS into the heart of London’s thriving business community. A place where we could offer something different – teaching that feels more like the executive suite than a traditional classroom.

“We’ve launched courses like the Executive MBA and Global Online MBA, hosted events, and created new opportunities for professionals and leaders to grow. We’ve also partnered with organisations like the Bank of England and the NHS, helping to shape thinking in finance, healthcare, sustainability and beyond.

“We support Change Makers that don’t just want to learn about the future, they want to create and lead it themselves. And just like them, we don’t plan on standing still – our next chapter is already taking shape.”

University of Miami Turns 100

University of Miami: “In 1929, as the University of Miami was establishing itself as a young institution, the School of Business Administration was founded amidst one of the most tumultuous periods in American history—the onset of the Great Depression. Yet it persisted, emerging as a symbol of resilience, innovation, and navigating through challenges.

From its earliest days, the school offered courses at the undergraduate level to students during the day, as well as evening classes with extensive offerings for people who worked during the day. Financial resources were lacking, and the student body remained small. Course offerings, limited by necessity, were conventional at first and continued so for two decades before any real expansion of academic programs could be made.

It wasn’t until 1947 that the Master of Business Administration launched with four fields of study—accounting, finance, management, and marketing.

By the latter half of the 20th century, the school solidified its position as a leading business institution, offering not only traditional courses but also programs like the Executive M.B.A. for upper middle to senior management as well as a doctoral program.”
