Welcome from the Dean

At Hull University Business School, we live and breathe the principles we believe must guide every organisation: responsible management, sustainability, and digitisation.

Our commitment to Authentic Business Learning cuts across everything we do. We focus on making a lasting, positive impact on business and society, and we forge connections with partners who share this goal.

I’m proud that our commitment to these values and to continual improvement has been recognised through global accreditations that put us in the top 2% of business schools worldwide. The true endorsement of what we do is the impact our colleagues, students and alumni make in the world.

Our Accounting and Finance experts are working at the forefront of financial research and practice. Bringing their real-world experience back into everything they teach.

We teach Economics and Business Economics for the real world. Our students don’t just examine economic concepts and analytical tools as part of some abstract mathematical theory.

They explore how economic issues relate to public policy, and how they impact industry, society and people.
