Dean's Message

We are one of the UK's leading business schools. Currently ranked 1st for Business (Sunday Times University Guide) and 1st for Accounting and Finance (Times Good University Guide), we are a leading centre for management research - placed 5th in the UK in the latest RAE. Our MBA and MSc programmes are also ranked amongst the global elite by the Financial Times and The Economist.
But let me sum up some of the things that make us unique:
We are research-intensive and practice-driven
We aim to generate knowledge through excellent research & disseminate it through innovative teaching which goes beyond the classroom into situated management practice in world-leading organisations.
We take pride in our heritage as one of the UK’s oldest business schools set in a beautiful historic city
We value the quality of life enjoyed by students & staff in a small, safe but vibrant university.
We are international in outlook, faculty, students, and organisational relationships
We aim to reflect the globalisation of markets in everything we do.
We are good citizens
We aim to be proactive in our attention to ethical, cultural, social and environmental aspects of everything we do. Corporate social responsibility is at the heart of all we teach.
Our combination of world-class research and our unique emphasis on placements in world-leading organizations makes Bath an outstanding place to study as an undergraduate. You will be taught by people who are discovering the new ideas that have not yet reached the textbooks, and then you can test these theories out in practice in organizations around the world.
At postgraduate level we offer a wide range of taught and research programmes. In addition to our world-ranked MBA we offer the highly innovative MSc in Advanced Management Practice, as well as more traditional courses in General Management, Marketing, International Management, Accounting & Finance, Innovation and Technology Management, Sustainability and Human Resource Management ,all building on our specialist research at the leading edge of knowledge.
We are an elite institution, but we are also friendly and caring. In particular, our support staff are highly skilled and dedicated to ensuring all our students have a happy and enriching experience at Bath.
