The University of West London has been shortlisted for Business School of the Year in the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) Awards.

The Claude Littner Business School was recognised for its personalised, experience-focused learning approach that sees students work on live projects with real businesses.

Speaking after being shortlisted, Dr Suresh Gamlath, Dean of the Claude Littner Business School, said:

We looked at what works best for our students and introduced innovative ways of teaching that are tailored to their needs. This new approach challenges our students to achieve beyond their self-perceived abilities and enables them to take their confidence and aspirations to a whole new level.

The positive impact of this new learning approach has been evidenced through improved student outcomes. Over the last year, the Business School has also seen a dramatic improvement in the BAME attainment gap, dropping from 9% to a record low of 0.8% (HESA 2017/18).
