The 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF) rated the majority of the research outputs of the UCL School of Management as “world-leading” or “internationally excellent”; at 95%, this was the second highest percentage of any business school in the UK.

The School is home to over 1,300 students, with more than 55% from outside the UK. The UCL School of Management takes full advantage of being part of a world-leading university through its interdisciplinary outlook, and builds on close collaborations in both research and education with other UCL departments, including computer science, engineering, economics, psychology, public policy, statistics and medical sciences.

This is an exciting time to join the UCL School of Management as it is embarking on a significant expansion plan which will see it deliver on a new strategy to double in size over the next five years. An increase in degree programmes and staff will ensure that we continue our mission to deliver the next generation of socially conscious entrepreneurial leaders, who will tackle the world’s greatest challenges.
