As the voice of the UK’s business and management education sector, CABS supports its members to maintain world-class standards of teaching, research, and enterprise engagement.
With a membership consisting of more than 120 leading business schools and higher education providers in the UK and around the world, alongside affiliated stakeholders and members in the corporate sector, they advocate on behalf of members and students, while helping to inform government policy.
In becoming part of the Association, University College Birmingham reaffirms its commitment to providing the best possible higher education experience, allowing students to enter the workplace with the knowledge that their degree will be tailored to real-world practices.
Membership allows students to access a range of benefits including knowledge sharing and the latest research, while the School stays up-to-date with best practice in teaching, leadership, and trends.
