Professor Martin Binks: New Dean of Nottingham University Business School
Today, there are seven joint MSc programs with other Schools at Nottingham, as well as new courses in China and Malaysia, including an MBA in Entrepreneurship.
This has been a result of cooperation between Nottingham University Business School and UNIEI, with the aim of extending entrepreneurship education across the School. It led to the University being lauded with the Times Higher Education Award for ‘Entrepreneurial University of the Year’ in 2009.
Professor Martin Binks takes over from Professor Leigh Drake who has been the Dean since 2007, and is moving to Australia’s La Trobe University.
“Too many discoveries are missed because we don’t look upwards and outwards in terms of the University and the business world, private and public sector. Academics need pushing beyond the comfort zone of their specialist subject. Many of our students and the organisations we work with have discovered that when you bring together clever people from different disciplines great things can happen.”
