Our ambitious plans for growth

We have embarked on an ambitious strategic plan encompassing research, education and broader engagement across our growing community.

Part of these ambitious plans is to develop new and exciting postgraduate taught (PGT) programmes that address contemporary business needs.

This growth aligns and supports the University strategy through our guiding principles:

• Visibly Leading: PGT programmes with strong home and international cohorts are key for sharing knowledge in our core areas of strength and building reputation and recognition.
• Freedom and Opportunity to Succeed: in developing these new programmes we provide an opportunity for our current and future staff to develop programmes around their areas of expertise.
• Responding to Current and Future Challenges: by developing programmes with a strong focus on digital, data and sustainability, we are directly responding to contemporary challenges and the needs of employers.

Having launched several new MSc programmes in 2022 and 2023, including Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Sustainability, Sustainability Management, Business Analytics, and Digital Marketing, we’re continuing to add to our postgraduate portfolio with the addition of more new programmes over the next three years.

It is through this growth that we are now making an investment of £1m in new appointments to support the teaching of these new programmes and to further develop the strengths of the School in the key areas of sustainability, digital and data.

We are excited about our latest opportunities and welcoming new colleagues with a range of backgrounds into the School.

We have a range of roles across our subject areas that focus on sustainability, FinTech, data and digital.
