Our Journey
40 years ago, Professor Lord Bhattacharyya had the seed of an idea. From this, strong roots were built, which would revolutionise how universities research and educate to meet business demands.
The idea quickly blossomed, branching out into multiple sectors and creating international education centres. This produced projects with commercial impact and nurtured the brightest talent.
That small seed grew into a world leading research and education group. WMG.

And our collaborations have seen us build relationships of consequence with the smallest of local businesses, through to the most powerful global multinational corporations.
