Through the distinctiveness of our graduates, excellence of our staff, intellectually rigorous research and network of international partners, we seek to inform the practice of management and to make a difference to our community – locally and internationally. Our mission and vision are a focus for continuous improvement and development.

Our commitment to students

Our programmes provide:

• The theoretical and practical skills needed for challenging real-world situations
• The latest in business and management thinking
• A good understanding of the field of study, including wider social issues, corporate social responsibility and ethical decision making
• Academic stimulation and challenge
• Skills for both the workplace and further academic study

A large number of our esteemed academic staff are leading international experts. They are research-active and their knowledge informs the course content to make sure students have a high quality learning experience, informed by the latest developments in the subject and drawing on the best original research from the leaders in the field. This means that our programmes are at the cutting edge of thinking and practice.

We work with our students to develop your skills and learning. The learning environment will be stimulating and intellectually challenging; in return, we want our students to engage with the academic content, be conscientious and take an independent approach to study.

Helping you to succeed, personal development and career development

We’ll provide you with the academic framework and personal support to fulfil your potential and pursue a successful career. You’ll be assigned a personal tutor on arrival who will support you throughout your course. Their role is to give you academic advice as well as pastoral support if needed. We are committed to providing whatever support you may need – academic, pastoral or career – so that you can both enjoy and benefit from studying with us. The Employability Hub, based in the Management School, acts as a key interface between students and employers supporting access to student projects, placements, internships and jobs.

A range of opportunities are available to help you enhance your personal and professional portfolio:

• You’ll benefit from access to an extensive network of organisations
• Enhance your employability skills by spending a period of time on an industrial placement
• Voluntary work. You can join our active Enactus group, and participate in entrepreneurial activities while making a contribution to the community
• Selected programmes enable you to study at a partner institution in Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia or China and develop your international outlook, knowledge and cultural understanding. Our BA International Business Management includes a year of study abroad.
