Cass Business School (short for the Sir John Cass Business School, City of London) is the business school of City University, London. Established in 1966 as the City University Business School, the school changed its name in August 2002 following a donation from the Sir John Cass Foundation,[1] 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.[2] 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,[3] EQUIS in Europe,[4] and the AACSB in the United States.[5] The school’s Alumni Association has more than 31,000 members in 154 countries.[6]
History
Cass Business School’s MSc in Administrative Sciences began in 1967 and became the MBA in 1979.
In 2002 the school moved to new premises and changed its name as part of a strategy formed by Lord Currie, who had become Dean the year before, to compete as an international business school in a market dominated by US universities.
The school had previously been spread out across the City of London’s mainly residential Barbican Centre development. Half of the £40 million funding for the new building came from the reserves of City University. The school also received a one-off gift from Sir John Cass’s Foundation.[7]
The school changed its name to reflect the support of the Sir John Cass Foundation, which was founded in 1748 to educate children in the City of London. Sir John Cass, whose bequest formed the basis of the Foundation’s funds, was a former Sheriff of the City of London and Member of Parliament for the City.
In 2009, Cass opened its Dubai subsidiary where it offers an Executive MBA programme.
