We are an applied Business School with a focus on equipping students to add value from day one in industry and we follow ‘teaching intensive, research informed’ principles.

Candidates with significant industry experience are particularly welcomed.  Successful candidates will need to demonstrate up to date awareness of current developments within their specialist area as well as being able to nurture links between courses and real-life businesses.

We have a supportive and inclusive culture where innovation is encouraged.

Successful applicants will be required to prove their right to work in the UK prior to the commencement of their employment.  

Whilst the University of Greater Manchester is a licensed sponsor, under UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) not all roles are eligible for visa sponsorship.
