The Department
The Department of Management and Marketing was initially formed in January 1998. Originally the Department of Management, in May 2006 our name changed to Department of Management and Marketing in recognition of the unique identities of the two disciplines. Currently, the Department has 41 full-time academic staff who teach 44 undergraduate subjects and 54 postgraduate subjects to a combined enrolment of 8000 students.
Our Head of Department is Professor Bryan Lukas .
