The Department of Management, Strathclyde Business School at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow
Strathclyde Business School founded in 1947, is internationally respected as one of the most innovative business schools in Europe and has one of the largest academic faculties in Europe. Strathclyde is accredited by the international accrediting bodies, AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB, and is one of only 27 in the world to have such a distinction. In fact, less than 1% of business schools in the world hold triple accreditation status. In Scotland, no other business school is accredited so highly.
Strathclyde also performs consistently well in the UK government research and teaching assessments.
