Staff are rightly proud of their significant contribution to regional regeneration and economic growth through teaching, enterprise work and applied research.

In 2024, the School became the first University in Wales and just the third in the UK to receive the Business School Impact System (BSIS) label from the European Foundation for Management Development for the positive economic impact the School has on the Cardiff Capital Region.
