The Management School’s 160 international experts produce world-leading academic contributions and make a positive impact on a wide range of organisations and institutions. Our investment in a first-class research environment and a flourishing cohort of PhD researchers coupled with our refreshingly interdisciplinary focus put the Management School at the forefront of academic research, making a difference to our many local, national and international partners.
