Our students are an extremely varied group; we are the Business School of choice for hundreds of students of all ages and backgrounds in the Thames corridor and across London and the Southeast, but every year we also welcome large numbers of students from across the world.

The rich diversity of cultures, life experience and backgrounds of East London is reflected in those of our London-based students who have chosen to study at their local business school. They are joined on campus by many international students from around the world, with students from 120 different countries studying in our school.

An essential part of the experience of studying at Royal Docks Business School is the excitement of working with people from very different backgrounds. This is vital preparation for the global work organisations of the future, and for understanding the diverse market environments which enterprise seeks to serve.

Every one of our programmes of study is designed to boost the skills employers are looking for. That’s because the academic staff at Royal Docks Business School work closely with experienced business and management professionals to plan its teaching programme. Whilst studying their chosen programme, students should also be considering simple strategies that will enable them to land that desired job. We strongly encourage students begin this process as early as possible and do not wait until after graduation so that they can remain one step ahead.

We encourage our students to undertake various extra curricular activities from attending talks to working as active volunteers. We also know that practical experience in business or industry gives students a real advantage when looking career employment. If students have not had an opportunity to gain that before they join us, then we aim to help them gain a placement or internship in a business organisation. In an increasingly competitive market, we provide resources and information students need to achieve their career aims.
