History

The latest building was a part of Swansea Metropolitan University and was formed in 1897 under the Swansea Technical College. It was based on High Street Swansea, the site of the former Swansea College of Technology, and offered a portfolio of programmes which includes business, leisure and tourism, public services, management and health and social care.

The School, and the colleges that originally formed Swansea Institute of Higher Education, have existed for more than 150 years. All postgraduate and undergraduate qualifications were then awarded by the University of Wales, including the MBA programmes that existed from 1991.

Although initially a part of Swansea Metropolitan University, Swansea Business School moved to its current campus when Swansea Metropolitan University became a part of University of Wales Trinity Saint David in 2010. The university came into existence through the merger of the two oldest higher education institutions in Wales, the University of Wales, Lampeter and Trinity University College in 2010, under Lampeter's royal charter of 1828. In 2011, it was announced that the University of Wales would also be merged into Trinity Saint David. On 1 August 2013 the university merged with Swansea Metropolitan University which included Swansea Business School. [1] [2]

Swansea Business School achieved an "Excellent" grading for the quality of its teaching from the Higher Education Funding Council (Wales) and has a long and successful tradition of providing business education. [3] In 2019, Swansea Business School started to offer online MBA courses for students in partnership with Ducere. [4]

The School also teaches select business courses in the Trinity Saint David's Carmarthen campus.
