About the School
Welcome from the Dean of Business and Economics
The School of Business and Economics at Loughborough University is a fantastic school. It is not only a great place to study because of the quality of our teaching and commitment of our staff, but given the international standing of its research it is also an excellent school to partner with for research, consultancy and management training.
Whether you are a potential student wanting a top-rated degree programme, a business seeking to improve its operations or an organisation looking for top-flight collaborative research, working with Loughborough will be a transformational experience.
We are a school that is operating at the cutting edge of academic research in key areas such as Microeconomics, HRM and Marketing, but one that is also intimately engaged in the world of practice and committed to making a difference – to students, practicing managers, policy makers and organisations and, ultimately, to shaping the global community in the 21st Century.
We are exceptionally proud of our outstanding research performance in Business and Management, which was recognised by the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise for its internationally excellent calibre. The commitment to research excellence is a hallmark of Loughborough today, excellence which pushes the boundaries of theory and practice.
Our staff play leading roles in academic bodies internationally, edit leading academic journals and chair scholarly conferences around the world. At the same time, through our corporate development activities, they contribute extensively to policy and practice at regional, national and international level across a range of major public sector and private sector organisations.
Our expertise in tailored executive education is at the heart of our commitment to supporting corporate development, locally, nationally and internationally. Backed by our strong, well-established reputation for working with leading blue-chip companies, we deliver real added-value to businesses and professionals.
Our students are exceptional. Intelligent, creative and extremely competent, they amaze us each year with their achievements. From our Business and Management undergraduates adding significant value to businesses whilst on placement, right through to doctoral students contributing to the international debate on productivity and efficiency, our students and graduates have the knowledge and networking skills to make things happen.
So welcome to Loughborough University School of Business and Economics. I hope that you take the opportunity to explore what we have to offer.
Warm regards
Angus Laing
