Business and Management

We offer a range of postgraduate programmes that are underpinned by the latest research and informed by today’s contemporary business and management agendas.

Examples include: a joint Master’s programme with the University of Groningen; AMBA-accredited full-time and Executive part-time MBA programmes for people with a minimum of three-year’s full-time work experience; and the innovative DBA research degree, which is jointly awarded with Grenoble Ecole de Management.

Many of our staff have worked in business, industry or management consultancy and maintain strong links with their chosen sector. This ensures that their research and teaching is informed by practical experience and is applicable to the real-world challenges faced by today’s industry specialists. There are three multidisciplinary research groups in Newcastle University Business School including: Knowledge, Innovation, Technology and Enterprise (KITE); Management of Operations, Strategy and Technology (MOST); and Small Enterprise Research Unit (SERU). The main research specialisms covered by these groups are: innovation and enterprise management; entrepreneurship; e-business; organisational learning; internationalisation; and the management of change in public and private sectors.

The quality of the Business School’s research was recognised in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008, which classed 80 per cent of our work as ‘internationally excellent’ or ‘internationally recognised’ and 10 per cent as ‘world leading’.

The career and professional development of our students is very important to us and a number of our programmes incorporate work placements and practical entrepreneurial skills workshops. We also have a dedicated Careers Adviser who provides additional support and complements the many career and business incubation services available to you through the University’s Careers Service.
