Business Administration (FEK)

Business Administration is a division at the department of Management and Engineering. The division offers education on undergraduate, masters, and PhD levels, and is an active research environment.

The Division of Business Administration is a large and dynamic workplace. We are the largest division within the Department of Management and Engineering, both in terms of staff numbers and the number ofcourses and programmes offered at undergraduate level. In addition, we have substantial commitments in research, doctoral education, and external engagement.

It is important for Business Administration to maintain a strong focus on both research and teaching. The interaction between research and undergraduate education creates many added benefits for our lecturers and researchers, as well as for the students we meet every day. We ensure that our undergraduate provision incorporates a high degree of up-to-date research findings, while our staff continuously update and develop their pedagogical methods and the content of their modules. Many of the research projects conducted within the division are carried out in collaboration with companies and organisations, which strengthens the links between our staff and the wider community.
