The ongoing crisis in the financial sector has highlighted the need for competent and responsible men and women to provide strong leadership, not only in these areas but across the whole range of business, financial and regulatory activity.
The School of Business, Management and Economics is a unique research focused business school, which takes a strong policy-directed view on business practices while also developing the underlying core disciplines. The School is exceptionally well placed to provide leadership in the development and dissemination of sustainable business and management practice, informed by sound economic logic.
New Academic Building
Upon completion in 2012, the University’s state-of-the-art new academic building will be home to the School of Business, Management and Economics.
Situated in the heart of campus, the building will include a 500-seat lecture theatre (the University’s largest), general and specialist teaching spaces, academic and support space, and social and café facilities.
Teaching and research
The School comprises: the Department of Business and Management; the Department of Economics; SPRU (Science and Technology Policy Research) and CCE (the Centre for Community Engagement). SPRU is a global leader in research, consultancy and teaching of science, technology and innovation policy and management. CCE offers a range of part-time programmes in a variety of subject areas.
Sussex was rated as one of the best universities in the country to study economics in the 2008 National Student Survey, with 100 per cent of economics research rated as internationally recognised or higher, and 60 per cent rated as internationally excellent or higher. With such excellent foundations the School offers something distinctive and special to the future of business and management research and education in the UK and beyond.
