Business School Impact System (BSIS)

The Business School Impact System (BSIS) scheme is designed to determine the extent of a school’s impact upon its local environment – the city or region in which it is located. The impact of the University is analysed based on the seven areas of impact: financial, educational, business development impact as well as intellectual, societal, image and impact within the regional ecosystem. There are currently 53 schools across 17 countries that have received the BSIS label. The Peer Review Team confirmed the University’s exceptional on-going commitment and contribution to impact optimisation and stated that: “The positive results proved the institution’s significant position as a leading European business school and its diversified presence in the local, regional and international markets”.
