Our academics bring their research to the classroom to ensure our students acquire high level skills and competencies informed by the latest developments. This means that as a GSBE student, you obtain practical and relevant skills that enable you to be competitive. Never Stop Learning Business and Economics have always been important disciplines and never more so than today. To stay ahead, professionals need the best possible preparation. At the GSBE this preparation is provided though a well-established, quality education, taught by internationally recognised staff and informed by our research. The notion of Never Stop Learning reflects the benefit and value we see in a university curriculum combining strong educational foundations with cutting edge theory and ongoing enquiry. A university education embedded in research enables us to remain competitive as a nation. The uncertainties of the last decade have highlighted the need for our graduates to be problem-solvers, able to accept and respond to ambiguity, adapt to change, and view life as a continuing learning experience. Research-led teaching equips our graduates with those skills and attributes. Professor Nasser Spear Deputy Dean and Director of the GSBE

Ive always had an interest in marketing but my previous studies had been more in the generalist arts area. I was at a point in my career where I felt I needed to brush up on my marketing skills and the graduate certificate with its practical, business-centric approach seemed like a really good choice. Knowing more about the theoretical framework for marketing as well as having case studies and other resources to draw upon has given me more confidence to pursue marketing plans at work.
