Professor Alexandra Gerbasi, Deputy Pro-Vice Chancellor and Deputy Dean of the University of Exeter Business School, said: “We are delighted to have risen in these rankings and to be among the top 150 in the world for Business and Economics.
“It’s a great credit to the entire Business School community, who despite the challenges of the last year have remained committed to providing ground-breaking research and teaching reflecting our core values of environmental sustainability, responsible leadership and technological innovation.”
The publication of these subject rankings follows the release of computer science and engineering earlier this month and four health and science subject rankings in September: clinical and health, life sciences, physical sciences and psychology.
