Birmingham Business School is renowned for high standards of research; with over 80 lecturing and research staff, many of whom are internationally recognised authorities in their field.
Our research output contributes to academic debates worldwide. Members of the School undertake projects funded by the research councils, major trusts, professional institutions, government departments and the EU. Their research papers are published in high quality journals, books and conference proceedings, as well as in practitioners’ journals. This research also contributes to our world-class education.
Our home, University House, is a classic Edwardian building (1908), which has been refurbished and now incorporates a multi-million pound state-of-the-art teaching and learning complex. With full access to wireless technology, all lecture and seminar rooms are audio-visually equipped. This allows all postgraduate teaching to take place on site.
We have close links with industry, government departments, the financial community and major professions. These relationships foster research partnerships and the identification of fieldwork sites, while research results inform practice and policy, as well as theory.
Many of our academic staff regularly lecture and contribute to research in other countries. We have undertaken consultancy work for the World Bank, the United Nations, the Bank of England and the Asian Development Bank, among other international organisations and blue-chip companies.
Birmingham Business School incorporates the Department of Economics and the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies.
