Welcome

Welcome to the School of Management, part of the College of Business at the University of Western Sydney.

Our school is organised academically into three foundation discipline groups – Business Systems, Employment Relations and Organisation Studies. Through these groups, we teach courses in:

• e-business and enterprise resource planning
• operations, technology and logistics
• human resource management and industrial relations
• organisation management
• hospitality management
• sports management.

We also teach cross-discipline courses in business and commerce and business administration.

The school places a strong emphasis on teaching quality and innovation. Course management meetings of staff regularly revise subjects based on student feedback, and a number of our staff have won teaching excellence awards from the College of Law and Business (the predecessor to the College of Business) and from the Vice-Chancellor.

History

2006 marked the 30th anniversary of the commencement of teaching in the field of management at the University of Western Sydney. The school’s origins can be traced back to 1976 when teaching commenced in the Personnel Management and Industrial Relations major in the Associate Diploma in Business at the then Westmead Campus. Degree programs were then progressively added at Westmead and subsequently at Penrith, Campbelltown and Blacktown campuses.
