The University of Bradford School of Management has earned an international reputation for its extensive programme of research into management. The School's postgraduate activities also include advanced and executive development courses. The School provides high-quality management education for existing or developing senior managers, carrying out effective management research, thereby helping to extend understanding of the complex behaviour of organisations and their interaction with markets. 1274 Research is given a high priority both for its own sake, and to ensure that the School's teaching is based on the best possible understanding of the systems and organisations which our students will manage. Our research output includes many texts which are now internationally specified teaching or reference works.
Staff maintain close working links with management.
Financial support has been obtained from the Research Councils, local authorities, the Foundation for Management Education, government departments and a range of private firms and organisations. Of these, only Bradford, Warwick and Aston are 'full-service' business schools covering the complete range of management education from undergraduate through MBA, MA and executive development provision, to PhD and Doctorate in Business Administration programmes.
