Excellence in education

At the heart of our School is a deep commitment to excellence. We are proud to hold accreditation from AACSB and various professional bodies, which validate our dedication to student success.

A global perspective

In our interconnected world, a global mindset is essential. We actively foster this through:

  • International reach: Offering education programs around the world at UOW's global campuses.
  • Worldwide partnerships: Enabling collaborative learning, study tours, and study abroad opportunities for our students.

 

Shaping a sustainable future

We are leaders in fostering social responsibility and sustainability. Our commitment is guided by the United Nations' Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), integrating these critical concepts into all our programs and research.

We invite you to join our community - as a student, researcher, or external stakeholder - and embark on a journey of learning, research, and positive impact. Together, we can shape the future of responsible business leadership.

Our research

Our researchers are at the forefront of their fields, with international reputations in areas such as responsible organisations and practices, cross-cultural management, human and social capital, supply chain research, and Australasian business and economic studies.

Going beyond research, we collaborate closely with community organisations, companies, and government bodies to ensure that our expertise has a positive impact on our communities. Our research candidates engage in rigorous and relevant research, supported by dedicated supervisors.
