This Faculty's
courses are grouped into three, nationally determined,
subject areas: Accounting; Business and Management;
and Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure. The Quality Assurance
Agency (QAA) awarded the Faculty an 'excellent' rating
(with a perfect score of 24 out of 24) in Business and
Management, the subject area covering the majority of
the Faculty's course provision. Similarly, the Faculty
received an 'excellent' rating for Hospitality, Tourism
and Leisure. The QAA’s Developmental Engagement
confirmed an equivalent rating for the subject area
of Accounting. The Faculty is participating in a national
consortium, as part of an FDTL5 project, to look at
ways of improving quality in business education - The
QuBE project.
Consequently, in terms of teaching, the Faculty, as
Northern Ireland's Business School, can confidently
assert, on an objective basis, that it is the leading
quality benchmarked centre for business education in
Ireland, placing it amongst the very best in the wider
British Isles context. In terms of objective, quality-benchmarked
research criteria, the 2001 Business and Management
Research Assessment Exercise ranked the University of
Ulster's contribution in this area at a 3A, indicating
that over 75% of its research is of national excellence.
The Faculty is organised
on a school basis as follows:
