Cass Business School (short for the Sir John Cass Business School) is one of the most prestigious and highly selective business schools worldwide. Established as City University Business School, the school changed its name in August 2002 following a donation from the Sir John Cass Foundation, and was officially opened under its new name by the HM Queen Elizabeth II in 2003.
The school is divided into three faculties: the Faculty of Actuarial Science and Insurance, the Faculty of Finance and the Faculty of Management. It awards BSc (Hons), MSc, MBA and PhD degrees and is one of the 54 schools globally to be triple accredited by the AMBA in the United Kingdom, EQUIS in Europe, and the AACSB in the United States. The school’s Alumni Association has more than 31,000 members in 154 countries.
Cass is located in the London Borough of Islington, close to London's financial and commercial district, the City of London. It is arguably the best located business school in Europe with 75% of FTSE 500 companies surrounding it. And, consequently the school's stated aim has always been to be "the intellectual hub of the City" by forging links with financial institutions and multinational corporations as well as start-up businesses.
The Dean of Cass Business School is Richard Gillingwater, CBE.
