Business School

Phillip Dolan, Dean of the Business School

The UWA Business School is one of the premier business schools in the Asia-Pacific region.

We have some of the highest quality students in Australia, with over 5,500 students enrolled in our undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Alongside this, our internationally recognised academics conduct rigorous and relevant research across four disciplines: Accounting and Finance; Economics; Management and Organisations; and Marketing.

This work is complemented by the Centre for Social Impact (UWA), which conducts teaching, research and community engagement activities in areas related to the not-for-profit sector, social investment and sustainable communities.

The world-class quality of our teaching and research has been recognised in the School achieving accreditation through the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) in 2008, and through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 2011. Achieving accreditation through these organisations underscores the quality of our teaching, research, executive education, community outreach and many other areas, and we are proud to be one of only half a dozen schools in Australia to hold both EQUIS and AACSB accreditation.

Much of our success has been due to the strong support we receive from the business and broader community. Our inaugural fundraising campaign concluded in 2009 after successfully reaching its target of $25 million, and hundreds of individuals and organisations continue to contribute through ongoing giving. The School is guided by a Business School Board, comprised of influential members of the business community. In addition, the Business School’s Ambassadorial Council now has chapters in Australia, London and New York, with plans for expansion into the Asia-Pacific region.

The generosity of our supporters has provided scholarships, visiting experts, research fellows and many other benefits for our students. These will ensure that the capabilities of the workforce in our state and region continue to grow into the future.

We look forward to deepening our role in the local and international community through an ongoing program of public events, student engagement in the corporate and not-for-profit sectors, practical research conducted in partnership with the business community, and the maintenance of an active alumni community.
