About the School

Men discussing business

Bournemouth University’s (BU) Business School is increasing its reputation at international level as a leading provider of contemporary business education.

The Business School is divided into four departments; specialist academic staff are based within each department:

  • Accounting, Finance and Economics
  • Human Resources and Organisational Behaviour
  • Law
  • Strategy and Marketing.

BU is a member of AACSB International* – the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

We strive to be an inspirational and challenging academic environment in-step with the University’s plan to produce self-motivated, independent, life-long learners who are readily employable in graduate-level posts.

A powerful academic research culture keeps the School relevant, informs course development and benefits the business community locally, nationally and internationally. Our consultancy to business has aided the profitability and market position of many of the organisations with which we work.

The Business School continues to grow in these challenging times, building on established excellence and continual development in:

  • Courses being academically-led and geared to the professions
  • Enhancing the student learning experience
  • Creating a modern learning environment driven by the latest  technologies
  • Focusing on a curriculum geared to the global economy
  • Increasing support for entrants with different educational backgrounds
  • Delivering leading-edge courses to fit in with modern lifestyles
  • Developing a case-study approach to education
  • Enabling students to be responsible for their learning and career development
  • Integrating strong links between the School and the business community
  • Being the first point of contact for expert comment.

We look forward to you being part of this exceptional community.

*AACSB International is a membership association of educational institutions, business, not–for–profit and government organisations devoted to the advancement of higher education in business administration and management.
