The University of Greenwich Business School has over 4,000 students and around 150 academic staff. It occupies one of the historic buildings within the Greenwich Maritime Campus, a famous world heritage site also known as the Old Royal Naval College.
Business success worldwide can only be achieved through people. Managers need to be educated to respond rapidly, flexibly and effectively to the ever increasing pace of change in the business world. It is a complex task to develop programmes which provide an understanding of a range of business disciplines closely linked to their applications, and to facilitate the development of individual management skills.
At the Business School we have achieved the right balance. Academic learning is related to real-life business situations. The staff's wealth of international business and teaching experience is combined with a commitment to take time to support the particular learning needs of each student.
Our experience in running Master's degree programmes over 35 years is considerable. Greenwich was one of the first universities to develop a part-time MBA course as well as other Masters courses in marketing, finance and human resource management.
Teaching and Assessment
The Business school draws specialised staff from around the world and has a growing research presence at national and international level. Within the school there are a number of research groups devoted to particular areas of business research, including International Business and Strategy and emerging specialist expertise in business network research. Business school staff have carried out applied research for a range of organisations including the DfEE, the Construction Industry Training Board, Skills for the Millennium, the French Construction Ministry, the Office of Manpower Economics, the Low Pay Commission Secretariat, the TUC, the MSF trade union and the Housing Corporation.
All degree programmes are taught using a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, case studies and presentations. Individual courses have a strong commercial orientation as well as academic rigour. Students are assessed through assignments, examinations and presentations. Courses are taught by University of Greenwich lecturers who have strong industry and commercial experience, as well as excellent academic credentials.
Research
The Business School undertakes research and consultancy in a range of areas and the output of publications by Business School staff is growing steadily.
Research and consultancy is a key activity underpinning teaching quality within the Business School, but it is also an important contribution to the needs of business and the wider community in the geographical area served by the university. The School has a growing reputation at national and international levels, with the award of major contracts from the Economic and Social Research Council, Department of Health and the Department for Education and Employment. Work has been carried out for a range of organisations, including both public and private sector enterprises; government departments, charities and trade unions. Business school researchers are also active at international level, for example in research about central and Eastern Europe, China and South Africa, and a number of research collaborations with overseas scholars have resulted in joint publications.
The research community within the business school is also growing with a number of PhD/MPhil students in a variety of business disciplines. The Business School offers a structured PhD programme with training in research methods and key skills designed to facilitate professional research practice.
