In a significant development, the well-regarded S P Jain School of Global Management has inaugurated its international campus in London. This new establishment, known as the S P Jain London School of Management (SPJ London), is situated in Canary Wharf, London’s financial and tech hub. SPJ London enables students from the UK and around the world to study not only in London but also at the institution’s other campuses in Dubai, Singapore, Sydney, and Mumbai.
What’s more, the school has been granted New Degree Awarding Powers (NDPAs) by the UK’s Office for Students (OfS), making it the first Indian-origin higher education institute to receive this esteemed recognition. The new campus will commence offering a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs by November 2023.
Nitish Jain, the Founder and President of the S P Jain Global Group, shed light on the institution’s approach and rationale behind the expansion:
- Driving Factors for Success: The driving force behind SP Jain Global’s success is its belief that just as business has become global, business schools should also follow suit. This philosophy has guided the institution to create a multi-campus model, allowing students to explore various global regions.
- Key Milestones: SP Jain Global School of Management has achieved significant milestones over its two-decade journey, including recent recognition as the 7th best business school in the Asia Pacific. It has garnered praise from prestigious publications such as Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, Financial Times, The Economist, and Times Higher Education-Wall Street Journal.
- Multi-Campus Approach: The institution’s decision to expand to London was driven by student demand and London’s recognition as a top student city. The multi-campus approach caters to students in Asia who wish to study abroad.
- New Degree Awarding Powers: SP Jain London School of Management, as a sister school to SP Jain Global, recently received degree awarding powers from the OfS, UK. This independence in degree awarding is a significant draw for students.
- Adapting to Changing Business Landscape: SP Jain Global is committed to preparing graduates for the evolving business environment, integrating technology into its programs to ensure students are well-equipped to innovate.
- Engaged Learning Online (ELO): The institution pioneered ELO, a proprietary online learning technology designed to recreate the classroom experience in an online setting. It offers features like real-time polling and interaction with professors, enhancing online learning.
- Preparation for the Modern Workspace: SP Jain adopts a unique approach by aligning its curriculum with industry needs and challenges. This ensures that graduates possess the specific skills and knowledge sought after by employers, effectively bridging the gap between education and industry requirements.
