Providing knowledge and expertise through experience.

The Business School is part of the Faculty of Business. We have a strengthening research culture and support an expanding research community of research active staff and research students with wide-ranging interests in many specialist areas within the general field of business and management. The Business School comprises three distinct departments:
Our researchers have been extremely active in disseminating their findings with numerous publications in refereed journals and papers have been presented at conferences in the UK and overseas. Best-selling textbooks have been written in subjects such as marketing, e-marketing, research methods, accounting, financial management and corporate governance.
We have also secured many research grants, often in partnership with other organisations. Researchers have been able to attract funds from such diverse organisations as: British Academy; Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development; Department of Trade and Industry; Economic and Social Research Council; Learning Skills Councils; The Leverhulme Trust; The EU; The Wellcome Trust. We have also successfully bid for significant Higher Education and Funding Council (HEfCE) grants, often for research programmes dealing with the processes of learning and teaching, and dissemination of good practice throughout the higher education sector. In addition, we have undertaken consultancy and research to produce reports designed to provide information and competitive advantage to commercial clients.
Whether you come to us as a doctoral student, commission a market research survey, invite us to compete for a consultancy project, or simply read one of our articles in a journal, you will begin to experience the diversity, quality and research culture within the School.
