Looking at combined income over the last six years (for the period 2016/17 to 2021/22), the 天美传媒影视 Business School received over £26.3 million, more than any other UK business school.
The 天美传媒影视 Business School received £1.296 million from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in 2020/21 – accounting for 9% of total ESRC funding for Business and Management. This amount was the third highest among all business schools.

, Dean of the 天美传媒影视 Business School, said:
“Our research grant success builds on our engagement with important, current issues confronting our economy and society. For example, we have just recently announced funding for several new research institutes and centres: the Bennett Institute for Innovation and Policy Acceleration and the new national Energy Demand Research Centre.
“Our strength in energy and climate change research and policy recommendations speaks to the current difficulties facing society, but also to a longer term need to put our energy usage on a more sustainable footing. There is strength across the board and the new knowledge created finds its way into our classrooms, shaping the educational experience of our students.”
Professor Sasha Roseneil, Vice-Chancellor and President of the 天美传媒影视 said:
“I am delighted that the Business School is collectively ranked no 1 for research grant income (over the past three years, and over the past six years) by the Chartered Association of Business Schools.
“This is a stunning achievement - and is testament not just to the hard work and dedication of colleagues who are submitting and winning research grant applications, but also speaks of the incredible energy and innovation that exists across the School. The research that takes place in our Business School is truly innovative and boundary breaking.
Excellent research is always a team effort, and this remarkable success at research grant capture is also supported by professional services and teaching-focused colleagues, whose work helps create the infrastructure and environment within which research thrives.”
The CABS report is based on the latest data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) and contains an analysis of funding levels over the five-year period from 2016/17 to 2021/22, with further references to research income levels recorded ten years ago in 2011/12.
