Regent’s College today announces that it has reached agreement
to acquire College Management Services (CMS), the
independently-owned and managed company that runs Regent's Business
School.
The acquisition of CMS, which has been endorsed by the Charity
Commission, brings Regent's Business School, its students, staff
and academic courses, within the structure of the Regent's College
charitable trust.
Regent's Business School will stay in its current premises on
the Regent’s Park campus. Study arrangements for all Regent's
Business School students will continue as before, run by existing
staff. Accommodation arrangements for those students living on
campus also continue unchanged.
Peter Douglas, chief executive of Regent's College said:“The
addition of Regent's Business School opens up exciting new
opportunities and we look forward to building further on the
internationally-recognised successes of Regent's College.”
Dr Richard Gregson, Academic Director of Regent's Business
School:“We have long had close ties with Regent's College and I am
delighted that we are now becoming part of the same charitable
organisation. This will be good for both the students and staff at
Regents Business School.”
