Westminster Business School hosts one of only 11 UK Centres of Research Excellence accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
There is a strong practitioner focus embedded within our research culture, and our growing national and international reputation is reflected in the growth of research funding. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE2008) the Business and Management Submission (which included colleagues at the Policy Studies Institute) reported over £4 million of research funding. Our researchers contribute towards academic debate at the highest level, providing research-based evidence for policy makers and practitioners to enhance decision making and practice.
