My time studying Business Management (Marketing) at UEL allowed me to gain both theoretical and practical knowledge that has been extremely beneficial within the workplace. The network the course enables you to build is invaluable in the current employment market. The marketing industry is growing rapidly and UEL has prepared me to enter this industry confidently and successfully.Helena Crabtree , BA Business Management (Marketing) (now BSc (Hons) Marketing)

Research
Study of States, Markets and
People (STAMP) is a major inter-disciplinary initiative in the School of Business
& Law whose primary focus is the study of global and European political
economy and the forms of governance and regulation required to address
socio-economic/financial issues and geo-political conflicts and crises.
Having long studied the intensification of banking
and financial crisis and the public policies of neo-liberalism and
ordoliberalism resulting in many workshops and publications , STAMP's new
research projects are now building new research capacity and infrastructure on
five main axes:
a) the impact of Covid-19 on local and global
economic sectors, led by Dr. Francis B. Frimpong
b) technology transfer in the UK's tertiary
sector in the context of UK-China interaction, a research conducted by STAMP
Fellow, Prof Benzhao Yang of Northwestern Polytechnic University (China)
c) the global economic and geopolitical
antagonism between the USA and China, a project completed and turned into a
monograph co-authored by Dr. Shampa Roy-Mukherjee, Prof Vassilis K. Fouskas,
Dr. Qingan (Angus) Huang and Dr. Ejike Udeogu (to be published by Palgrave in
October 2020)
d) a pilot project on the issue of "brain
drain" in Bosnia & Herzegovina, examining outward youth migration in
the volatile Republic of SRPSKA
e) the impact of the crisis of globalisation on
the transition economies of western Balkans, a collection of papers edited and
peer-reviewed by Dr. Shampa Roy Mukherjee and Prof Jovo Ateljevic (University
of Banja Luka, BiH) for the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies (JBNES,
Routledge-Taylor & Francis, 8 issues a year since 1998) - the collection
will appear in print in JBNES, v.23, n.1, January 2021.
STAMP researchers are also involved in research
programmes related to the examination of the "gig economy" in
the UK and its impact on well-being and healthy ageing.
