Impactful Research
We conduct research across a range of disciplines and a variety of sectors. Our current research themes bring together expertise from across the Business Administration Division in order to address a wide spectrum of business disciplines. All traditional areas of research are represented, including economics, international business, marketing, management, finance and accounting.
Beside conducting research in traditional business research areas, we also aim to bring together researchers from across different disciplines on specific themes of national and international significance. The following four research themes reflect the College’s holistic approach and provide a platform for developing future interdisciplinary research.

Researchers can also use the 17 millennial sustainable development goals (SDGs) as a guiding principle. All majors can partake in this theme, for example:

The goal of the research theme for Health & Wellbeing is to bring together a critical mass of expertise in 10 research themes, addressing these challenges:
