[edit] Activities
This School pioneered developments in undergraduate teaching, the MBA and the Doctorate of Business Administration. They pioneered the study of Marketing and host one of the largest Departments in the country. The Scottish Hotel School is the only hotel school to be fully integrated into a business school in a British university. They initiated cross-disciplinary studies in Technology and Business Studies, and International Business and Modern Languages.
The Business School offered the first DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) in the country and introduced new methods of study for the MBA, being awarded the Queen's Award for Export Achievement for the open learning programme. Many in our extensive range of postgraduate instructional courses have received Research Council recognition, as have our facilities for research.
The Business School offers specialist training, research and consultancy services to meet the needs of individuals and organisations in most business sectors.
The Business School has achieved, from the Funding Councils, excellent and commendable ratings for the quality of its teaching, and international and national excellence ratings for its research.
It has full accreditation from the three main international accrediting bodies (AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS) being one of a handful of schools to do so. Less than 1% of business schools in the world hold "triple accreditation" - Strathclyde is one of them.
Recent years have seen the prestige of the school slip somewhat largely due to increased competition from recent entrants to the MBA market such as Oxford University and Cambridge University.
[edit] Department of Management
Part of the wider Strathclyde Business School, the Department of Management pioneered the one year full-time MBA (Master of Business Administration) in the UK 1966. The school went on to offer the first part time MBA and distance learning MBA in the UK in 1976 and 1983 respectively. The school was also the first UK provider of the DBA (Doctor of Business Administration).
Strathclyde is one of just 22 business schools in the world to hold international accreditation from the three industry hallmarks of excellence - AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS.
As well as being the only school in Scotland to be triple accredited, the Department of Management is the only school in Scotland - and one of just 50 in the world - to be approved by the UK Government's Highly Skilled Migrant Programme.
The Department of Management has 10 established international centres, in Europe, the Gulf and South East Asia, where the MBA is available, with the first centre opening in 1988.
As well as the prestigious MBA, the Department of Management also offers the MSc in Business and Management (MBM), a one year postgraduate programme. The MBM has become one of the first programmes in the world to be recommended for PEMM (Pre Experience Masters Degrees in General Management)accreditation as launched by AMBA in March 2005.
The Department of Management also offers the MSc in Business and Information Technology Systems (BITS) programme and a range of executive development programmes.
