The University of Sydney Business School is the business faculty and a constituent body of the University of Sydney. It was established in January 2011 and formed from the School of Business within the previous Faculty of Economics and Business. The former combined faculty itself descended from the original Faculty of Economics founded in 1920, which was the first faculty of its kind in Australia.
The Business School has an impressive academic reputation and is currently placed 28th in the world for Accounting and Finance by the QS World University Rankings. It was the first business school in Australia to receive accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB)[1] and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) from the European Foundation for Management Development.[2] It is also the only Australian business school to become an Associate member of the Global Alliance in Management Education (CEMS).[3] The Business School's CEMS Master of International Management (CEMS MIM) was ranked as the No. 1 pre-experience management program in the world by The Financial Times 2009 Business School Rankings.
In 2010, the Faculty of Economics and Business had a total student enrolment of 8,389 (18% of the University's students), consisting of 4,161 undergraduate and 4,228 postgraduate students. In terms of total enrolment numbers it is the University's second-largest faculty. By large margins, the Faculty of Economics and Business had the greatest number and proportion of international students of any of the University of Sydney's 16 faculties. In 2008, 49% of the faculty's enrolment consisted of international students, more than double the University-wide rate of 22%.

Established in 1920, the Faculty of Economics initially offered the Bachelor of Economics degree, which commenced in 1930. The postgraduate Master of Economics degree commenced in 1970.
In 1985 the faculty introduced its second undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs, the Bachelor of Economic and Social Sciences and the Master of Economic and Social Sciences, respectively.
In 1993 its third undergraduate degree program, the Bachelor of Commerce, was introduced. The Master of International Studies followed in 1991, the Master of Commerce in 1995 and the Master of International Business in 1999.
In 2005 the Business School ended its association with the jointly run Australian Graduate School of Management with The University of New South Wales.
From 2006 to 2007, the University conducted a review of its social sciences faculties. As a result of that review, it was determined that parts of the School of Economics within the Faculty of Economics and Business were to be transferred to the Faculty of Arts (as it then was). In January 2008, the Disciplines of Government & International Relations and Political Economy were transferred to the Faculty of Arts. In January 2011, the Discipline of Economics, the Centre for International Security Studies and the Graduate School of Government were also transferred to the Faculty of Arts, which was renamed the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Concurrently, the remaining disciplines of the Faculty of Economics and Business formed the University of Sydney Business School.
The University of Sydney Business School consists of the following nine disciplines.
In addition to these, the faculty also offers postgraduate programs and research through its Centre for International Security Studies, Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, Workplace Research Centre and Graduate School of Government.[4]
Studies in accounting are recognised by CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Australia (ICAA).
Majors in Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management can be accredited by the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI).
An extended major in Business Information Systems can be accredited by the Australian Computer Society.[5]
