Management Division

The Management Division is the largest division in the Business School, providing a vibrant community of staff who are recognised experts in teaching and research. Their expertise is regularly sought in the UK and around the world.

The Division tackles key issues facing organisations. We develop leaders and help organisations to be willing and able to deal with the most pressing and complex issues challenging society.

Challenging: We challenge knowledge, we challenge society, we challenge ourselves, we challenge our students
Relevant: What we teach will be used, what we find in our research helps organisations and society to develop
Meaningful: We teach the things that matter, our research helps organisations to deal with complex societal problems
