Our Mission and Values
At Parvis School of Economics and Music, our mission is to foster innovation and excellence in an environment that values both scholarly achievement and creative exploration. We believe in academic programmes that challenge students to think critically and creatively, preparing them to become future leaders in their fields. Innovation is at the heart of our teaching – from integrating the latest research and technology into our curriculum to encouraging entrepreneurial thinking. We uphold academic rigour, ensuring that students gain a strong theoretical foundation and analytical skills in every discipline. Equally, we emphasise internationalism and cultural awareness, welcoming students and faculty from around the world and preparing our graduates to thrive in a global society. Integrity, collaboration, and lifelong learning are core values that underpin our community.
Academic Strengths and Programmes
Parvis takes pride in its diverse academic offerings and professional strengths. We offer specialised programmes in a range of disciplines, including:
- Business Administration and Economics
- Music and Fine Arts
- Design
- Science and Technology
This breadth of fields reflects our belief in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education. Students can pursue a traditional academic path – for example, a degree in Economics or a programme in Musical Performance – or engage in innovative cross-disciplinary courses that combine elements such as music industry management, digital media design, or environmental economics. Our faculty are experts and practitioners in their respective fields, bringing real-world insights and mentorship into the classroom. Small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio ensure that each student receives personal guidance and a high-impact learning experience.
Campus and Community
Located in York, a city renowned for its rich history and cultural heritage, our campus provides an inspiring backdrop for education. State-of-the-art facilities – including modern lecture theatres, a cutting-edge economics and finance lab, performance halls and music studios, as well as design workshops and science labs – support a hands-on, experiential learning approach. Our students benefit from the vibrant cultural scene of York and engage with the local community through concerts, exhibitions, internships, and volunteer projects. We foster a supportive campus atmosphere where students from different disciplines collaborate on projects, whether it’s organising an international economics symposium or staging a musical production. This collaborative spirit helps students build leadership and teamwork skills while forming lifelong friendships in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
Global Outlook and International Opportunities
True to our international outlook, Parvis School of Economics and Music attracts a diverse student body and faculty, creating a global learning environment. English is the primary language of instruction, but we celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity on campus. Students have opportunities to gain international experience through study-abroad programmes, exchange partnerships with overseas institutions, and global internship placements. Our curriculum incorporates worldwide perspectives – from analysing international case studies in business to exploring diverse musical traditions from around the globe. This global approach broadens students’ horizons and prepares them to work and lead in an interconnected world. Parvis graduates emerge as culturally aware, globally minded individuals ready to make an impact across borders.
