Business School

Tracey Horton, Dean of the Business School

The Business School enjoys a good reputation amongst its counterparts in Australia. This success is testament to the dedication and talent of the Faculty staff and to the extraordinarily high quality of our students.

Building on this foundation of excellence, we are currently making some investments that will provide us with the tremendous opportunity to make a major leap forward.

Closer integration between various parts of our faculty mean that we are now presenting a more coherent view of business education at UWA that will enable us to present a unified face to the business community. Our new building, will provide a major, visible symbol of change and future development.

All leading business schools require ongoing support and involvement from alumni and business. We are close to raising our goal of $25 million which will provide us with an opportunity to control our own destiny. To date, funds raised have supported a range of scholarships for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, a range of Visiting Fellows and guest lecture series and the building project.

I am delighted to be working closely with the group of outstanding business people that now constitute the Business School Board. We are fortunate to have such high-calibre and experienced leaders visibly demonstrating their support.

We will take advantage of this opportunity by ensuring that our strategy remains internationally focused on attracting the best students, attracting and retaining the best staff and building strong links with the business community.

This is an exciting period for the Business School. Faculty members and staff, supported by the University, have worked hard to build the foundation from which we will grow and to create the opportunities that we now face. It is now up to us to take advantage of these opportunities to the fullest extent possible.
