Founded in 1947, the Strathclyde Business School (SBS) is one of four faculties forming the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Located on Cathedral Street within the John Anderson campus of the University, it offers courses for business education and management development for inexperienced graduates through to senior executives.

SBS has around 200 academic staff and more than 3000 full-time students (undergraduate and postgraduate), with 11 subject departments and specialist units providing more specialist and cross-disciplinary postgraduate courses. It is a top-ranking business school, among only 59 institutions worldwide (i.e. less than 1% of business schools globally) to be granted Triple Accreditation.

Academic departments

There are seven academic departments within SBS:

  • Accounting and Finance
  • Economics
  • Human Resource Management
  • Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship
  • Strategy and Organisation (Formally the Department of Management)
  • Management Science
  • Marketing

Each department offers a range of programmes: postgraduate, undergraduate and research. The business school also offers a number of faculty-wide programmes, both research and taught – the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Executive Masters in Hospitality and Tourism Leadership, the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), and Research Methodology in Business & Management.

The business school also has several research units:

  • Strathclyde Institute for Operations Management (a joint venture between staff from SBS and the Faculty of Engineering);

  • Strathclyde International Business Unit (located in the Department Strategy and Organisation but also working cross-functionally);
  • Scottish Employment Research Centre (located in the Department of Human Resource Management)
