History
INTO City, University of London: progressing to Cass Business School - http://www.intohigher.com/city Successful students at INTO City, University of London can progress on to study at Cass Business School. We spoke to Ruben ...
The City Business School was founded in 1966. The school's MSc in Administrative Sciences began in 1967 and became the MBA in 1979.
In 2002 the school moved to new premises in the London Borough of Islington, and changed its name as part of a strategy formed by Lord Currie of Marylebone, who had become Dean the year before, to compete as an international business school in a market dominated by US universities.
The school had previously been spread out across the City of London's mainly residential Barbican Centre development. Half of the £40 million funding for the new building came from the reserves of City, University of London. The school also received a gift from Sir John Cass's Foundation, founded in 1748 to educate children in the City of London. The school changed its name to reflect the support of the Foundation. Sir John Cass, whose bequest formed the basis of the Foundation's funds, was a Sheriff of the City of London and Member of Parliament for the City in the early eighteenth century.
