Integrity first
We hold ethics and responsibility at the centre of every course, because business done well is business done right.
Our story
Founded in 1953 on a simple belief
Meridian Business School was established by a group of industrialists and economists who shared one conviction: that great leadership can be taught. From a single lecture hall and forty students, Meridian has grown into one of the world's most respected business schools.
Today we educate more than 2,000 students each year across our MBA, master's, and executive programs. Yet our founding purpose is unchanged — to develop leaders of competence, character, and conscience who create lasting value for organisations and society alike.
