Faculty of Business ranks 32nd (In China) and 242nd (In the World) in the "UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings"
According to the latest announcement of The UTD top 100 Worldwide Business School Rankings Based on Research Contributions (2020-2024), Lingnan University’s Faculty of Business ranks 32nd in China and 242nd in the world. This prestigious ranking not only acknowledges our outstanding performance in key areas of business research, but also reaffirms our significant position in the international academic community.
The UTD Business School Research Ranking, published by the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), is a significant research benchmark for business schools around the world. The ranking is based on the total number of academic papers published in the UTD 24 journals and the extent of authors’ contributions from each business school over the past five consecutive years. Released annually, the ranking is highly recognized among academic institutions globally.
Our exceptional ranking performance is a testament to our long-standing commitment to research and capacity building. Over the past five years (2020-2024), our faculty has published a total of 20 high-quality papers in the UTD 24 journals, marking a significant increase compared to the previous decade (2010-2019), which recorded a total of 23 papers. Despite our relatively small faculty size, with fewer scholars than other business schools, we have excelled amidst intense competition, demonstrating our strong academic and research capabilities. This achievement has garnered wide international recognition, reflecting consistent improvement in our faculty’s research capacity.
Professor S. Joe QIN, President of Lingnan University and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science, remarked, "It is indeed a cause for celebration that Lingnan University’s Faculty of Business, despite being relatively small, ranks alongside many of the world’s renowned business schools. This exemplifies Lingnan’s ‘mighty mite’ spirit.”

To this end, we actively recruit top talent, enhance collaborations with esteemed institutions, invite distinguished scholars from universities such as the University of Southern California and the University of British Columbia for academic visits and exchanges to advance the frontiers of knowledge. Additionally, we follow closely the digital trend and conduct a series of high-quality, relevant projects. Our research outputs provide valuable insights and references for governments, consumers, and business organizations."
The Faculty of Business offers a diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including the Bachelor of Business Administration (Honors), Bachelor of Business Administration - Risk and Insurance Management (Honors), ten taught postgraduate programmes, as well as MPhil and PhD degree programmes.
