SP Jain School of Global Management, ranked in the world’s top 12 for its one-year Global MBA program, has launched its newest international campus in London. SP Jain London School of Management, SPJ London for short, comes with a unique Indian touch – being the first business school of Indian heritage with the official certification to confer its UK degrees.
“We are only the fifth institution to get the UK’s New Degree Awarding Powers (NDAPs) and the only one of Indian origin,” says Gaurav Jain, Business Development Manager, SPJ London.
The new school, headquartered in Australia, will build on its global business education philosophy and offer students from the UK and abroad the opportunity to study in London and also at SPJ’s other campuses in Dubai, Singapore, Sydney and Mumbai.
Sarah Chidgey, Head of International Education, UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT), said: “We are delighted to welcome SP Jain to London! We have heard of their strong reputation and futuristic education. London is a centre of global business, and we are confident that students would have a superb learning experience.
“Though the UK is well-known for the quality of its higher education, a strong new provider would add to the choice both British and international students would have.”
The new campus will be located in Canary Wharf, amid global financial giants such as HSBC, Barclays, JP Morgan and Citibank where many of the internships are also expected for the students.
Nitish Jain, Founder & President of the SP Jain Global Group, said: “People ask me – why London? Because students want to study in London! Simple. The number of students interested to study in the UK has doubled in the last year itself.
