Further Particulars
The University of Nottingham is one of the UK's most popular and respected universities, with an international reputation for its research and teaching. Its main campus is located in a beautiful park two miles from the centre of Nottingham - the thriving commercial and cultural capital of the East Midlands. Nottingham's accessibility from all parts of the UK and beyond reflects its central location and the quality of its road, rail and air links. The Nottingham University Business School occupies state-of-the-art buildings on the award winning Jubilee Campus a few minutes from University Park. This campus, opened in 1999, features two tree-lined lakes which provide a magnificent focal point. The campus also has its own Learning Resource Centre, a central covered piazza with bank and shops and a range of cafes and restaurants.
Nottingham University Business School conducts world-class research with the results of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008 confirming the School’s status as one of the leading business schools in the country. 70% of the School’s research was classified as either ’world leading‘(4*) or ‘internationally excellent’ (3*), ranking Nottingham University Business School 6th in the UK. Its teaching has been rated as ‘excellent’ by HEFCE. As part of its ongoing development, the School has recently recruited to a significant number of new posts and currently has around 140 academic staff. Apart from its UK-based operations, the Business School also delivers programmes at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China, the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, and in Singapore.

Amongst the School’s achievements are the following:
• Nottingham University Business School is one of an elite group of EQUIS-accredited business schools (European Quality Improvement System). Uniquely, EQUIS accreditation applies to operations in the UK, China, and Malaysia.
• AMBA (Association of MBAs) has accredited our MBA programmes since 1993, which ensures that all Nottingham MBA programmes meet rigorous quality standards.
• Nottingham University Business School is the UK leader in ethical and sustainable business education. We rank 1st in the UK and 45th globally in the Aspen Institute's biennial 2010-12 'Beyond Grey Pinstripes' Top 100 ranking of business schools and MBA programmes that integrate ethical, social, and environmental issues into teaching and research. This prestigious ranking also places the School's faculty research 5th in the world in these areas.
• With a world-leading reputation for research, the UK’s Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) ranks us among the UK’s top ten by research power. 70% of the School’s research was classified as either ’world leading‘(4*) or ‘internationally excellent’ (3*). In 2010, Nottingham was named among the UK's top ten universities for the impact of its publications in economics and business by the Times Higher Education. The ranking represents journal articles and their citation impact and seeks to reveal heavy hitters based on per-paper influence, not only output.
• The Financial Times ranks our MSc in Finance & Investment among the top 2012 Global Masters in Finance programmes.
• The Times Good University Guide 2013 ranks us among the UK's top 20 business schools.
• The University of Nottingham ranks joint 2nd in England for PhD completion rates. The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) shows that 88% of all full-time Home and EU doctoral students at Nottingham qualified within seven years, ahead of the HEFCE benchmark of 82%
Main Research Activities
Having achieved significant success in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), the School's priority is the production and dissemination of internationally recognised research. The School research strategy is led by Professor Alistair Bruce (Director of Research) who is supported by a Research Directorate with a senior representative from each of the School's five divisions. The Research Directorate provides financial assistance for the dissemination of research at national and international conferences and also for 'pump priming' high potential research projects.
The School has an active programme of research seminars, including a range of visiting speakers and an active visiting scholar programme. The development of group and individual research strategies is encouraged through research 'awaydays' and faculty are also periodically able to apply for study leave in order to develop their research activities more intensively. Quality research is a core element of the School’s activity. Research is framed around five Divisions and six Research Institutes and Centres:
Divisions:
• Accounting
• Economics and Finance
• Management
• Marketing
• Operations Management and Information Systems
