Queen’s University Management School, in one form or another, has been in existence for over thirty years, and was one of the first schools in the United Kingdom to introduce undergraduate management education. Since then it has been expanding and developing its cohort and range of programmes at undergraduate level and masters level for local and international students. Queen’s University Management School is one of the largest in the University with over 1,000 undergraduate students, and it continues to grow its postgraduate student numbers. In recent years there has been a steady increase in the number of students pursuing postgraduate research programmes, under the supervision of leading scholars, for MPhil or PhD degrees across a range of subject areas including supply chain management.
