The University of Sussex Business School draws on the significant historical and intellectual strength of its founding departments, rooted in the early days of the University of Sussex.

The Business School focuses on driving innovation for social progress, with strengths in sustainability and climate change, embracing the University's strategic goal of A Better University for a Better World.

We are a top-ranking global school, top 15 in the UK for Business and Economics (THE World University Rankings 2023) and 1st in the UK for annual research income 2020/21 (Chartered Association of Business Schools). Accredited by EQUIS and AMBA, we are a member of the Chartered Association of Business Schools and a Bloomberg Experiential Learning Partner. We are committed to the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) and are recognised as a pioneering institution by the Responsible Research in Business and Management Network.

Established in 2009, the school brought together the world renowned Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) with the Department of Economics, already a global leader in development economics, and in subsequent years has steadily expanded its range of business, management, finance, accounting and marketing degrees.
