Study In UK: UCL Expands To Increase Seats In Business And Management Courses

Over the past few years, the UK has witnessed a significant increase in the number of enrolments in business and management courses. UCL decided to expand to meet the increasing demand for these programs.

Study Abroad: The UCL School of Management is doubling its size to increase its students and academic offerings. The business school has decided to lease two additional floors for its expansion and for this, it has signed a lease with landlords Canary Wharf Group.

Professor Davide Ravasi, Director of the UCL School of Management, said, “Our location in Canary Wharf gives us a clear competitive advantage from which our students and faculty will continue to benefit. I have no doubt that increasing our presence here will enhance our ability to produce world-leading research, economic and societal impact and innovative education for years to come.”

The additional space is going to increase seats for 1,000 more students. The expansion will allow undergraduate students to be taught, for the first time, at the School’s Canary Wharf base. The various facilities available on the additional two floors will be a state-of-the-art recording studio, a Bloomberg suite, two new student hubs, and a new executive education suite.

The new space will allow the school to offer nine more programs including MSc’s in Finance with Data Science, BSc’s in International Management and Management for Social Change (for undergraduates), Digital Innovation, and People Analytics and Human-Centric Management.

Dr Michael Spence, UCL President & Provost, said, “This is a real feather in the cap for UCL. As well as being strategically important in terms of helping our School of Management achieve its goal of further global recognition, this expansion will help meet surging demand for business education across the UK and to produce more of country’s next generation of business leaders. It further highlights UCL’s commitment to providing world-leading teaching and research.”

Shyam Samani, UCL’s Estates Project lead, said, “We are proud to have supported the School of Management’s growth and look forward to seeing the positive impact these new spaces will have on students and faculty alike. The UCL team, our consultant team and Canary Wharf Group have worked collaboratively and innovatively to ensure the best result for our UCL community and to enable UCL to welcome students to a new wave of education programmes in September 2025. We would like to thank our consultant team Gerald Eve (Agents), CMS (Legal), Gardiner and Theobald (Project Manager), Nicholas Hare Architects (Architect), AECOM (Cost Management), Buro Happold (MEP and Structural Engineers) as well as Canary Wharf Contractors.’’
