The Henley experience

A commitment to quality

Henley Business School is part of the world-ranked University of Reading, rated among the top 1% of global universities, home to the best on campus environment (joint) in the UK and some of the country's most satisfied students.

Each academic year Henley Business School welcomes around 300 new undergraduate students and is home to nearly 1,000 in total. In 2011-12 we received 7 applications per available place on our undergraduate degree programmes, and saw a 25% rise in applications.

Ranked among the top schools in Europe; and being one of only 53 business schools in the world to hold triple-accredited status, Henley has a truly global reputation and reach. We are regularly rated among the UK's top business schools based on overall student satisfaction and we are very proud of our impressive graduate employment record which consistently places us among the top 10 business schools in the UK.

As a result of our demanding entry requirements and rigorous approach to teaching and learning, we pride ourselves on attracting only the most ambitious and capable applicants. This provides you with a high calibre learning community where you can explore and discuss the latest ideas and innovations.

Our outstanding location

One of the most dynamic economies in the UK, Reading lies at the heart of the employment-rich South East and has been named one of the most recessionresilient 'cities' in the country. As a graduate of Henley Business School you will be ideally located - with Reading often referred to as the 'Silicon Valley' of the UK. 13 of the world's top 30 global brands are based in the region, including Vodafone, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle and Intel. Reading is also just 25 minutes by train from central London - Europe's business and financial capital.

Facilities and resources

Opened in 2009, the £25 million Business School is one of the newest and most visually impressive buildings on campus.
