Dear Colleague,

SP Jain has always been built by people who believe a business school should be close to industry, global in outlook and focused on student outcomes. Our multi-city model and culture of innovation have allowed us to grow a distinctive institution that connects ideas with practice and gives students the confidence to lead on a global stage.

London is a special part of this story. Establishing SP Jain London School of Management in Canary Wharf has created a platform for talent, research and industry engagement in one of the world’s most connected business districts. It is a place where employers, entrepreneurs and policymakers meet, and our students and faculty feel the energy of that proximity every day.

I would like to acknowledge the service of Dr Kim Soin, our founding Dean, who guided the School through its early milestones and helped establish strong academic and organisational foundations. I am grateful for her leadership and for the community she has built.

We are now entering a new phase; SP Jain London has been granted New Degree Awarding Powers by the Office for Students, and with that comes both responsibility and opportunity. Our new Dean will serve as our most senior academic leader and the effective head of the London School, reporting directly to me. This role carries the responsibility to shape strategy, champion academic excellence and grow a distinctively modern business school for London and for the world.

Our agenda is ambitious, and we are looking for someone equally so. Our new Dean, we anticipate, will drive programme innovation, strengthen impactful research, and ensure students benefit from rigorous teaching that reflects technology, data and the realities of contemporary management. The thoughtful use of AI in learning, the development of programmes in areas such as data science, financial technology and cyber security, and the building of strong partnerships with industry will all be central to our future ambitions.

What makes this opportunity distinctive is the combination of place and reach. London offers unrivalled access to employers and ideas. Our global network across Dubai, Singapore and Sydney offers genuine mobility for students and faculty, as well as collaboration on a scale that few schools can match.

We value leaders who are strategic and decisive, who communicate clearly, who are comfortable building external partnerships and who take pride in the student experience. With the right Dean, SP Jain London will deepen its contribution to London’s business community, advance research that matters and help more students thrive in international careers.

Thank you for your interest and I very much look forward to hearing from you via our executive search partner.

Yours sincerely,

Our Vision

To transform lives through the power of education.

Our Mission

A Global Education Model Across Key International Hubs

Since 2004, SP Jain Global has operated campuses in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore, and Sydney, delivering a unique multi-city model that requires students to study in three of these locations. This immersive structure attracts a diverse cohort and offers a globally integrated learning experience.

Our flagship Global MBA is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 by Forbes, The Economist, and The Wall Street Journal, while the Master of Global Business is regularly placed in the top 40 by the Financial Times.

This model fosters adaptability and cultural fluency, preparing students for the realities of global business. As companies increasingly demand knowledge of regional regulations, consumer behaviour, and local business practices, students benefit from exposure to varied economic and cultural contexts. SP Jain London students will also have access to these international campuses, enhancing their understanding and employability. Our graduate outcomes data supports the model’s positive impact on career success.

Integrating Global Learning with Real-World Application

Over time, we’ve refined our programmes to integrate academic theory with practical business frameworks, experiential learning, and corporate-facing projects. Establishing a presence in London, home to major multinationals and global financial institutions, allows us to extend our educational philosophy to one of the world’s leading business hubs.

Our multi-city delivery is a cornerstone of the SP Jain Global experience, combining face-to-face and online learning across campuses. Accredited by TEQSA under the AQF, our courses are delivered by a unified academic team that rotates between cities, ensuring a cohesive and high-quality learning experience. Far from being satellite centres, each campus functions under a single academic and corporate governance structure.

Enhancing Student Mobility and International Experience

Students rotate between campuses throughout their studies, supported by advanced synchronous teaching technology that ensures consistency across all locations. This approach enhances flexibility, student mobility, and cultural exposure. Our graduates enjoy strong employment outcomes globally, especially in the UK, underscoring the model’s effectiveness.

SP Jain London students benefit from formal articulation agreements, allowing seamless study across any of our global campuses. Our first BBA cohort has already begun taking advantage of this opportunity. This synchronised, integrated model offers a superior alternative to traditional exchange programmes.

Expanding Global Access Through the London Campus

Our London campus is fully integrated into the multi-city model. Postgraduate students may begin in Singapore or Dubai and complete terms in London, while undergraduates can study up to two semesters at campuses in Singapore, Dubai, or Sydney. Generous travel bursaries are available in the early years to support these international experiences.

Subject to visa regulations, students at each location can pursue internships that reinforce practical and globally relevant skills.

UK-based students will form part of a larger global academic journey. For example, undergraduates may study one year in Singapore, one in Dubai, and their final two years in London. Postgraduates often begin in Singapore before transitioning to the UK. Through this expanded presence, SP Jain Global continues to offer transformative, internationally recognised education to future global business leaders.
