Facilities
You will be working in a fantastic environment. Our teaching takes place in a grade two heritage listed building. Opened in 1909, it was originally Dundee Technical College & School of Art and is the oldest part of the University. Students have studied here for over 100 years, inspired to learn by the history and charm of their surroundings.
Our Research
The Business School has an interdisciplinary research profile spanning three primary subject areas of human resource management, enterprise and entrepreneurship, and marketing. It also extends to cognate areas.
This primarily relates to the University's Creative Industries & Cultural Vitality and Sustainable Development & Inclusive Living Challenge Spaces.
Energy
Research in energy is our main strength and we continue to build our capacity around this topic.
Our research focuses on a diverse array of areas, such as renewable energy accounting and finance; carbon accounting; oil and gas accounting; social and environmental accounting; and energy security.
Accounting
Our research in accounting has been traditionally linked to the energy sector. We also have expertise in other areas of accounting, such as human resource valuation, performance measurement and accounting as a social practice.
Finance
Our newest research group is focussed on investment biases, corporate governance, ownership structure, stock return anomalies and real estate investment.
Human Resource Management
Human resource management research explores graduate recruitment and labour market trends in a comparative context; talent management, managing diversity and flexible working practices; environmental awareness in the workplace; job creation and social inclusion; and employees' response to organisational change, psychological contract and the work lives of foreign-born employees within academia.
Law
Transnational law enforcement
Focus is on transnational law enforcement generally, and trafficking in human beings in particular.
Post-Brexit, the focus has shifted to the changing legal relationship of the UK/Scotland with the EU in the policy area, and the responses of the UK/Scotland to this changing situation. A particular focus is on trafficking in human beings from a transnational, EU and UK perspective.
These are concerns shared not just in the UK but elsewhere in the developed world, and international agreements and co-operation is required to minimise the potential for criminality in this area. Research has resulted in publications, external engagement, knowledge exchange and consultancy. Research outputs include for example, ‘Constructivism, constitutionalism and the EU's area of freedom security and justice post-Lisbon’.
Law and society
Focus is on in intellectual property (IP) law and its impact on access rights for people with disabilities, medical law, bioethics and reproductive rights, which has led to nascent synergies in the area of ethical reproductive rights and employment law research.
