Bayes Business School
Bayes Business School was founded in 1966 as part of City University, London. Its MSc in Administrative Sciences began in 1967 and became the MBA in 1979.
The school had previously been spread out across the City of London’s mainly residential Barbican center development.
Half of the £40 million in funding for the new building came from the reserves of City University.
The school’s MBA is offered full-time through a one-year course, through a two-year part-time Executive MBA, or through a two-year modular Executive MBA.
In September 2007, the business school started the EMBA programme in collaboration with DIFC (Dubai international Financial Center)
