Derby International Business School

Regional impact, global reach

Derby International Business School is both globally connected and regionally grounded. We welcome thousands of students at undergraduate and postgraduate level and have a network of alumni in more than 140 countries around the world. At the same time, we remain deeply committed to our region and to driving inclusive economic growth in the East Midlands. This is a business school making a tangible difference to the community it resides within.

The University of Derby’s International Business School offers far more than degrees. It offers a launchpad for careers and for positive impact. From its purpose-built facilities and globally relevant curriculum, the relationships it facilitates with business and commitment to sustainability, it represents the next generation of business education.

This is your opportunity to learn in an environment where ideas thrive, talent grows and ambition is matched by action. Step into the Cavendish Building and shape the world of tomorrow.

Partnerships with purpose

We are partnered with global industry leaders including Rolls-Royce, Toyota, NHS and Alstom to shape real-world AI and business learning, and sett a blueprint for how universities can work effectively and meaningfully with industry. These collaborations are embedded into our teaching and research, providing our students with access to current thinking, sector expertise and leadership. Our students graduate career-ready and prepared to contribute meaningfully to society and the economy.
