Queen's University Management School, in one form or another, has been in existence for over thirty years, and was one of the first schools in the United Kingdom to introduce undergraduate management education. Since then we have been expanding and developing our cohort and range of programmes at undergraduate level and masters' level for local and international students. Queen's University Management School is one of the largest in the University with over 1,300 undergraduate students, and it continues to grow its postgraduate student numbers.
Research and Knowledge Creation
Queen's University Management School offers a distinctive high quality education. We have a number of specialised courses which are taught by experts in their subject.

Research is fundamental to the nature of Queen's University Management School, and is a key criterion when we are recruiting Faculty, who have something distinctive in terms of their research and knowledge creation.
Expansion and investment
In developing programmes we seek to build on the research expertise of our staff so we know that what we are delivering in the classroom is based on built on state-of-the-art knowledge and understanding. In Faculty we have almost doubled in size in the past six years and we are continuing to expand to develop new programmes and to identify new Faculty who will increase and deepen the expertise that we can use to deliver those programmes.
In recent years, the School has benefited from targeted investment from the University in a series of new academic appointments and the result is a vibrant mix of high quality young and established researchers. We are building on these achievements in research by continuing to internationalise our research culture through the further development of international links with top rated Management/Business Schools.
