School of Business

The new School of Business has been created from the merger of the School of Accounting & Finance with the discipline of Economics, formerly part of the School of Social & Environmental Sciences. The new school will build on a strong portfolio of business-related programmes at the undergraduate, taught postgraduate and research levels. These will now be offered through a single gateway enabling the School to recruit more effectively in new markets, particularly overseas. Research in the disciplines of accounting, economics, finance and management will be strengthened by exploiting synergies that are currently reflected in our joint programmes. In particular, we hope to exploit our common interests and expertise in the working of financial markets, workplace practises, corporate social responsibility and sustainability, and health and well-being.

Professor Christine Helliar, Dean of the School of Business said "The opportunities that this brings are tremendous. Our current and future students will benefit from the greater number of programmes and wider choice of topics that the school can now deliver, which meet the demands of a modern, global workforce."
