Research - Centres
The School of Business and Economics has developed two new collaborative Research Centres to further enhance its international reputation for undertaking world class ‘research that matters’.
Both centres are key components of the School’s research agenda and aim to be instrumental in shaping policy and practice across both the public and private sector. By drawing upon the existing areas of expertise across the University and beyond, these centres signal the School’s ambition to develop a significant presence at the forefront of research in the following fields:
- Centre for Post-Crisis Finance
Conducts research on many of the key issues facing the financial services industry, in the wake of the global financial crisis. It also serves as a platform for the wide range of work on financial markets and institutions carried out across the school.
- Centre for Professional Work and Careers
Researching the impact on careers of globalisation-led transformations in the workplace, from the international outsourcing of professional work through to the changing face of health and social care.
