About us

The School of Business offers world-class, comprehensive degree programs that give students flexibility and choice in structuring their studies, whether at the undergraduate, postgraduate, professional or PhD level of study. Our programs provide students with the ability to acquire knowledge and skills that enable graduates to analyse, assess, and make informed business decisions in a competitive global business environment.

The School is made up of 6 disciplines: accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing, supply chain and analytics. These disciplines work closely with the business community and with professional organisations, ensuring that our students meet the certification requirements needed to enter into professional positions.

Our Faculty have excellent research reputations, and our research interests are many and varied. We believe that exposure of students to research, even as early as first year, is central to producing the types of understanding necessary for innovative leadership over the next few decades. Today's research issues are the key to solving the problems of tomorrow, and employers of today's graduates know that.
