EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA accredited, the University of Liverpool Management School (ULMS) is an international management school based in an enterprising and vibrant, world city of culture. Formed in 2002 through the bringing together of a number of well-established departments and research groups in the University of Liverpool, the School provides a world-leading environment for research, management and leadership education. The pursuit of research which is internationally recognised for excellence in its originality, significance and rigour is central to the culture of the School, as is delivery of a strong student experience.
Following the appointment of the School’s Dean, Professor Julia Balogun, in 2015 and supported by strong ongoing investment from the University and its ambitious strategy for 2031, ‘Liverpool 2031’, ULMS is fulfilling its vision to be a globally connected Management School whose transformative research and teaching places it at the forefront of influential knowledge leadership to better business and society.
Over the last few years, ULMS has engaged in extensive recruitment of academic and professional services staff, with investment to support expansion into a state-of- the-art extension, including a trading room. The School now has 230 faculty, supported by 80 professional services colleagues. Echoing the City of Liverpool’s reputation for friendliness and an outward looking orientation, ULMS provides a strongly collegial, international and intellectually vibrant interdisciplinary environment, including a thriving doctoral research community of over 100 PhD students.
In its wider setting, the School benefits from the University of Liverpool's standing as a member of the UK's leading Russell Group research-intensive universities and from its location in a world-famous maritime city of culture and sport, which combines strong cultural activity, excellent transport links, and regional beauty with a world heritage skyline and is highly ranked on quality of life in the UK, while remaining one of Britain's most affordable cities.
