The PhD Programme

The PhD is the highest academic degree and as such ¼â½ÐÊÓƵappgraduates are in demand for:

  • academic posts in leading universities and top business schools.
  • business and management consultancy in commerce and industry.
  • senior management roles in private sector organisations and government institutions. 

Whatever your goals, the ¼â½ÐÊÓƵappPhD gives you the opportunity to combine rigorous academic theory with research to influence the world of business and make a unique contribution to your field of study. It attracts exceptional students of the highest calibre, and in conjunction with scholars internationally-renowned for their research and thought leadership, the PhD programme at ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp Business School is both challenging and stimulating. 

The ¼â½ÐÊÓƵappPhD is for applicants who normally already hold a Masters qualification (or international equivalent) with a significant research element. This usually means that your first degree will have included a thesis or dissertation at the final stage and some taught research methods.
