Through our teaching and research, our mission is to inspire our students to be the responsible business leaders of tomorrow, giving them the knowledge, skills and foresight to embrace industry challenges and lead in developing successful, sustainable national and international business operations.

As champions of practice based education, we believe it is imperative that we share our own evolving practice. Careers and employability weeks are an exciting expression of our vision, designed as a pedagogic innovation to shift the focus from input-led learning (lecture, seminar) to output based learning (learning by doing).

We also have three Professors in Management Practice. These are senior figures from industry and commerce who bring substantial expertise in disciplines including management, finance, marketing, business systems, operations management and consultancy and, of course, invaluable practice intelligence, back into our classrooms.

Professors in Management Practice and innovations such as careers and employability weeks and our revised curriculum add further momentum to our ambition to build a distinctive and coherent business school offer around pratice led business education and research.
