University of St Andrews Business School

At the University of St Andrews Business School, we aspire to be a global leader in business education, research and practice. We aim to cultivate a community of future business leaders who are equipped with cutting-edge economic, financial, and management knowledge and skills, and deeply committed to ethical practices and sustainability.

We strive to inspire our students, staff and partners to challenge the status quo, to think critically, and to act with integrity in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

We want to be recognised for our excellence in teaching, impactful research, and dedication to addressing contemporary global and local challenges. We aim to produce graduates who are not only leaders in their fields but also advocates for a more equitable, just, prosperous and sustainable world.

We will identify and develop cross-cutting themes in areas such as strategic leadership, data use and artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and innovation, financial institutions and markets, and ethics and sustainability.

Our approach will be interdisciplinary, and we will seek to integrate wider expertise across the University and beyond.
