The University of Sydney Business School is the business faculty and a constituent body of the University of Sydney. It was established in January 2011 and formed from the School of Business within the previous Faculty of Economics and Business. The former combined faculty itself descended from the original Faculty of Economics founded in 1920, which was the first faculty of its kind in Australia.
In 2016, the QS World University Rankings ranked the University of Sydney 30th in the world for business and management and 18th in the world for accounting and finance. In 2016, the Financial Times ranked the Business School 44th in the world for Masters in Management programs, and outside the top 100 for MBA programs. In 2015, the Australian Financial Review BOSS MBA Rankings ranked the School first in Australia for Executive MBA programs, and outside the top 17 for general MBA programs.
The School was the first in Australia to receive accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) from the European Foundation for Management Development. It is also the only Australian business school to become an Associate member of the Global Alliance in Management Education (CEMS).
In 2014, the Business School had a total student enrolment of 7,202, consisting of 3,439 undergraduate and 3,763 postgraduate students. In terms of total enrolment numbers it is the University's second-largest faculty. By large margins, the Business School had the greatest number and proportion of international students of any of the University of Sydney's 16 faculties. In 2014, 53% of the school's enrolment consisted of international students, more than double the University-wide rate of 22%.
Established in 1920, the Faculty of Economics initially offered the Bachelor of Economics degree which commenced in 1914. The postgraduate Master of Economics degree commenced in 1925.
In 1985 the faculty introduced its second undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs, the Bachelor of Economic and Social Sciences and the Master of Economic and Social Sciences, respectively.
