Making an impact to the economics and finance industry through research Research is an important part of the work we do here at Brunel and this is particularly the case for the Economics and Finance department. It informs our teaching and learning, ensuring our students are the first to benefit from key developments. Our research also has in impact on local community and the wider society, as we are constantly looking to push boundaries and conduct cutting edge research projects in areas that affect us as a global community.
