The licence grants accredited schools or universities the rights to republish the text of FT articles in either print or digital format to complement their curriculum. The FT is inviting applications from any school or university worldwide and will initially select 20 academic institutions to pioneer this new approach. Licences will be awarded based on the quality of the application.
Caspar de Bono (pictured), Managing Director B2B, said: “Employers want to hire students who are able to apply theory in practice and are well informed of commercial issues and international markets. This licence is designed to help educators use articles from the Financial Times in the creation of new learning resources.”
The FT’s news and analysis provides students with a valuable understanding of global business, economic, political and social issues. FT education products now serve 25 of the world’s top 50 business schools including the University of St Gallen in Switzerland, which is an early adopter of the new licence. St Gallen uses FT articles to create case studies for students to use in preparation for mock recruitment interviews. For more information, read the FT St Gallen case study.
