School of Business and Law

We have a long history of engagement with practice to deliver applied research that makes a positive societal impact.

As a full service school we offer undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees along with an integrated foundation year and a range of apprenticeship courses delivered in partnership with practice.

We teach, research and consult across the full range of business and management disciplines including: strategy, innovation, operations, HRM, leadership, accounting, finance, economics, marketing and law.

The University of Brighton is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) – an accreditation achieved by fewer than 6% of business schools globally.

The School of Business and Law has also recently been awarded the Small Business Charter in recognition of its exceptional work supporting local business growth and student enterprise.
