Warwick Business School Expands International Activities

Warwick Business School, one of the leading European business schools, has announced that it is forming a new International and External Relations office. The aims of the office are to co-ordinate and support the School's international marketing and international student activity, and to aid its external relationship building through a planned new Advisory Board network.

The new department will initially focus on undergraduate students, in support of the planned expansion of the undergraduate programme. However, the range of activities will eventually be extended to deliver a full range of services which will include the international postgraduate arena.

Professor Robert Dyson, Associate Dean for External Relations said, "This is a landmark development for the School. It signals the high priority that we attach to raising the School's international profile and to providing a quality service for international students."

Ann Jackson has been appointed from the Centre for Creativity Strategy and Change at Warwick Business School to co-ordinate the activities of the new department. She will also work closely with the exercise currently being spearheaded by Dean Howard Thomas to build up the external Advisory Board network.

In addition to Ann, the new department will be supported at a high level by External Relations Advisor Alison Browning; Dr Sally Dibb - Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programmes; Professor Robert Dyson - Associate Dean for External Relations; and Professor Howard Thomas - Dean of Warwick Business School.
