School of Business and Economics

About us

Richard Morris Building

Welcome to the School of Business and Economics at Loughborough University.

We are very proud of our achievements, not least because of our record of inspiring those who engage with us and transforming their careers and the organisations for which they work. At the heart of everything we do are three main tenants:

  • Advancing knowledge 

Research is at the very heart of what we do and we are committed to leading the way in advancing knowledge, and use of that knowledge, across the full range of business subject areas. Our research centres and interest groups provide clusters of expertise recognised internationally for the quality of their research.

  • Transforming students 

The student experience, both educationally and personally, is central to our ethos, and we have an enviable record of delivering truly excellent teaching. At undergraduate level, we consistently have one of the highest graduate employment rates in the country. On the postgraduate side, our suite of master's programmes provides an opportunity to engage closely with our leading researchers, upskilling students for the workplace, whether UG, PG, MBA, Executive Education or PhD. We strive hard to ensure our programmes are truly transformative.

  • Impacting practice 

Through our research, staff engage with individuals and organisations, helping to transform them. We are deeply committed to positively impacting practice, with teaching and consultancy that changes the way managers and businesses work. Every year, hundreds of our students are placed in organisations to gain valuable work experience or to carry out projects. Once graduated, they become life-long ambassadors of the School, sharing the knowledge and life-skills they have learnt.
