Thamesbridge College is a newly established private higher education institution based in Milton Keynes, England.
Founded as a subsidiary of International Business School (IBS), Hungary, it draws on more than three decades of IBS experience in delivering UK-validated programmes across Central Europe.
Thamesbridge is currently preparing for registration with the Office for Students (OfS), reflecting its commitment to the highest standards of academic quality, governance, and student protection.
The College will offer undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in areas such as general management, events management, entrepreneurship, banking and finance, and supply chain management, with its first intake planned for September 2026. Initial cohorts will be intentionally small, allowing for a personalised learning experience and gradual, sustainable growth.
Our approach places a strong emphasis on employability – working closely with local and regional employers, embedding their insights into curriculum design, and providing flexible study options that meet the needs of both full-time and working learners.
