Big News! 🎉

The Royal Docks School of Business and Law (RDSBL) at UEL has been shortlisted for Business School of the Year at the Times Higher Education Awards 2025. 

This recognition celebrates RDSBL’s role as a next-generation business school – leading change through inclusive innovation, enterprise, and global impact.

Highlights include: 

Our Practice-Based Centres, including our Legal Advice Centre, Business Advice Centre, and Tax and Accountancy Clinic, delivered more than £1 million in pro bono consultancy to over 600 SMEs last year. At the same time, more than 2,000 business and law students gained real-world professional experience, equipping them with career-ready skills.

Along with the Law Noon Centre for Equality and Diversity, we co-designed a youth-led, National Institute for Health and Care Research-funded health project in Newham. The group created a framework on Women’s Rights and Climate Justice, which was adopted by the United Nations Expert Group, allowing for more efficient operationalisation of UN Sustainable Development Goals and influencing negotiations at the World Urban Forum. 

Our School launched a Business Incubator Programme in May 2024, supporting over 60 early-stage entrepreneurs. One venture, ThinkClock Battery Lab, secured £500,000 in UK Innovate funding. Through the British Council’s SCOUT programme, the school engaged 30 disadvantaged students from India, underlining its global commitment to nurturing talent. 

Our Centre of Fintech has earned recognition for exceptional support to student entrepreneurs and innovators in FinTech and Web3. 

Executive Dean Professor Fatima Annan-Diab said: 
“This recognition stands as a powerful testament to the vision, dedication, and excellence that define our community. I am incredibly proud of the hard work, energy, and passion that our leaders, staff, and students bring to the school every day. This nomination reflects our commitment to empowering students, driving innovation, and making a meaningful impact on business, law, and society.” 

We’re celebrating this achievement with our students, staff, alumni and partners. 💙
