School for Business and Society, University of York

At the forefront of the University's mission to be a University for public good, our pioneering and impactful interdisciplinary research and teaching is designed to help public, private and third sector organisations deliver sustainable and inclusive growth in order to improve the economic, social and ecological wellbeing of people across the world. Our work is applied and problem-focused, using cross-disciplinary knowledge to address real-world problems and working with non-academic partners to co-produce meaningful responses to societal challenges. Our activity deliberately transcends conventional boundaries, reflecting our view that the most pressing issues facing the world today require responses that consider the roles of public, private and third sector organisations alongside each other. We're drawing together activity that other universities normally locate in separate Schools of Business and Schools of Public Policy. Reflecting York’s long-standing strengths in both of these areas we are the largest organisational unit at the University. With scale comes a breadth of expertise and a diverse learning community. We offer degree programmes across a broad range of subjects.
