It is important for Business Administration to maintain a strong focus on both research and teaching. The interaction between research and undergraduate education creates many added benefits for our lecturers and researchers, as well as for the students we meet every day. We ensure that our undergraduate provision incorporates a high degree of up-to-date research findings, while our staff continuously update and develop their pedagogical methods and the content of their modules. Many of the research projects conducted within the division are carried out in collaboration with companies and organisations, which strengthens the links between our staff and the wider community.
