PhD
Our PhD programme combines academic theory with good practice. A research degree provides you with a launch-pad to a successful career in academia, commerce, industry, the public sector or as an entrepreneur.
Research
Research is at the centre of all our activities and our doctoral programmes are an integral part of our strategy for research excellence.
Apply for research courses
Our distinctive contributions to the future of business and management are through recognised areas of outstanding research.
If you are interested in our research courses, we advise you to contact potential PhD supervisors directly to discuss your application.
It is important that you nominate at least one supervisor on your application who shares an interest in your proposed area of research before applying. Applications submitted without a nominated supervisor will not advance in the application process.
The Business School's focus on entrepreneurship was a massive draw for me. It's a very supportive, challenging and rewarding environment in which to carry out research. It is a truly transformational experience.
