The Nottingham Business School is a full-service business school located in Nottingham, England. The school is part of Nottingham Trent University which was launched in 1992 from the existing Nottingham Polytechnic, however the Nottingham Business School itself has existed since 1980 and celebrated its 30th Birthday in 2010. This milestone coincided with the opening of the regenerated Newton and Arkwright redevelopment project which had transformed two of the university’s flagship buildings (which are both grade II listed) into an ultra-modern complex, linked together by a glazed link building. The Nottingham Business School is now primarily based on levels 7 -9 of the Newton Building. The school offers qualifications ranging from undergraduate bachelor's degrees through to postgraduate masters, MBA’s and doctorate degrees.
