A thriving research culture

800x533 healthcare
Supporting policy development and management

Academics across Queen's Management School are engaged with the policymaking process through our four research centres. For example, staff at the Centre for Health Research at the Management School are carrying out policy-focused research on topics including: healthcare quality management; demand for health services; early life conditions; work disability; workforce ageing; the determinants of health inequalities; evaluating health policy interventions; demography and fertility; and Covid-19.


Journal editorships

One of the ways in which QMS contributes to the wider scholarly community is through editorial roles at leading journals including the Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal; Accounting and Business Research; Economic History Review; European Journal of Finance; and the Global Journal of Health Science. During the most recent REF period, 21 academics from QMS were involved in editing 28 journals. 


Visiting Scholars

We welcome and encourage applications from outstanding researchers around the world who wish to spend time at Queen’s Management School. Our policy for all individuals from other universities and institutions who are funded from sources external to the University and who wish to visit the campus can be found here. 


Diverse workplace
Engaging in global networks

QMS funds conference travel and visitors and seminar speakers from international universities to stimulate joint research projects. QMS also funds and facilitates workshops through its departments and research centres and has received grants from the UKIERI-UGC Thematic Partnership and BiNoMa.

In the most recent REF period QMS academics published papers with 519 authors from other UK universities and 1,002 authors from outside the UK. Our academics partnered with colleagues from Paris School of Economics, Erasmus University, Goethe University Frankfurt, UC3M, and Antwerp University. During the Covid-19 lockdown, QMS joined a consortium of universities and central banks to start the International Macro History Online Seminar, which continues to meet fortnightly.

Postgraduate research

We have a vibrant and growing community of postgraduate research students from across the globe. We facilitate an annual PhD colloquium where students present their work, funding is available for workshops and conferences, and our research centres include PhD students in all activities, also giving students the opportunity to meet all visiting seminar speakers. 

To advance their careers, students are also encouraged to work closely with their supervisory team by co-authoring journal articles – in this most recent REF period 17 papers were published where students had co-authored with their supervisors.

Events and seminars

Speakers at our seminar series are a mixture of internal and external academics. In the most recent REF period, QMS hosted a total of 201 seminars by external international scholars from institutions, including top US universities such as Harvard Business School, Notre Dame University, Stanford University, the University of California at Davis, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University. QMS sponsors various specialist workshops and outreach events throughout the year through its research centres. QMS has attracted major international conferences to Belfast, including the Economic History Society Annual Conference in 2019, and the Royal Economic Society in 2023.
