The School of Technology and Management (STM) was set up as a division of the London School of Commerce in 2001. STM conducts degree programmes in collaboration with University of East London, University of Sunderland and University of Wales, Newport. All three universities have assessed the School and the academic and administrative processes within. Currently there are over 600 students hailing from 40 different countries studying at the School. The attractions of studying in a diverse business environment within the city of London, state-of-the-art facilities, well-appointed seminar rooms and lecture halls, interactions with consultants from the industry, access to a large online database of journals and reports in the library and four IT laboratories contribute to the growing popularity of the School. A number of the graduates from STM have moved on to higher studies (both postgraduate and doctoral studies) and the majority have obtained employment both in their home country and abroad.
