Message from the Dean

On behalf of the University of Liverpool Management School (ULMS) I would like to congratulate you on gaining a place with us and extend a very warm welcome to you as a new student.

You have made a great choice to study with us in Liverpool, with everything the University and this great city has to offer. We hope that you continue to excel in your academic studies at ULMS and look forward to working with you and supporting you in this.  However, University is not just about the academic side. We want you to take advantage of all university life can offer through its intellectual, social and physical environment. We know you will form life-long friendships and networks that will support you in your future.

Our vision statement commits us to being a globally connected Management School whose transformative research and teaching places us at the forefront of influential knowledge leadership, bringing us together with students, business and society in learning to make a difference.  Our aim is to offer you a learning experience that helps you to develop into a global citizen capable of making a difference to the businesses and organisations you work for as you build your successful career, as well as society more broadly.

The Management School has a strong group of academic staff who are internationally renowned for their research and scholarly activities. Please take advantage of the formal lectures, research seminars and various other meetings at the school to get to know them. Our academics ensures that their research is relevant to practice, and are keen to share this with you. What you learn here is not just about the grades you achieve in your exams. It is both current and relevant to the careers you will pursue on graduating. In addition, you will have an academic advisor who will work with you during your time with us providing a particular contact point for you.

We expect that you will be an active learner, contributing what you already know to your classmates and finding innovative ways to use what you learn both in projects here and the broader workplace when you graduate. We also encourage our students to engage in voluntary activity such as Enactus Liverpool which aims to create sustainable businesses for disadvantaged people around Liverpool and across the globe.

We want our relationship to last beyond graduation. We are proud of our alumni and look forward to working with you for some years and helping you to achieve your aspirations.

With every good wish for a happy and successful student career.
