Our Professional Services teams provide the infrastructure that helps WBS to run effectively, and to achieve its strategic goals.

HR, Finance, and eSolutions (our IT team) sit outside of the clusters, as core services underpinning all of the School’s activities. The Academic Environment cluster focuses on providing high-quality services that underpin, support and enhance the academic delivery and mission of WBS. The teams within the Academic Environment are:

They also support research impact activities, collect data and information on the research environment, and support the Pro-Dean for Research, Engagement and Impact on delivering and implementing the School’s research strategy. The Doctoral Programmes Office (DPO) provides dedicated programme support for our two Postgraduate Research Programmes; the MRes/PhD in Business & Management, and the MRes/PhD in Finance & Economics. The DPO acts as the first point of contact for PhD students, providing programme advice and pastoral support as needed. They also provide end-to-end administrative support to both academic staff and PhD supervisors.
