📖 Introduction
Henley Business School was founded on the principle of harnessing life experience to business achievement. The institution began over 70 years ago as the Administrative Staff College with the mission to retrain demobilized officers as business leaders to rebuild the British economy after the war. In tranquil riverside surroundings, leaders from government, military and the church came together to bring business to life. An institution and an ideology was born.
Henley Business School is a triple-accredited business school and part of the University of Reading. With campuses, offices and partnerships around the world, over 7,000 students from more than 100 countries and over 87,000 alumni from 160 countries, HBS is truly an international institution. The courses are enriched by up to date knowledge, research and commercial experience, and aimed at students and professionals at every stage of their career – from undergraduate through to postgraduate, PhD, MBA, DBA and executive education.
