Part of the University of Liverpool, a member of the prestigious research-intensive Russell Group of Universities, the Management School’s international experts shape world-class academic thought and make a direct impact on a wide range of organisations and institutions. Faculty are organised in six subject groups, and work across the School on interdisciplinary projects and themes in research centres and research clusters. Our investment in an excellent research environment and a flourishing cohort of PhD researchers, coupled with our refreshingly interdisciplinary focus, puts the Management School at the forefront of academic research, making a difference to our many local, national and international partners.
