Research, both within Henley Business School and across the University, underpins all of our activities and feeds directly into teaching at every level.

We are consistently rated among the UK's top business Schools based on our research output and performance. The University of Reading itself is ranked as one of the world's top 200 institutions and is rated among the UK's most research intensive universities. Our international presence is further strengthened through collaborative research projects and established links with a number of leading international universities.
