Business and Management PhD (London campus)

As a research student you will receive a tailored package of academic and administrative support to ensure you maximise your research and future career.

You will take part in our research training programme across our:

• London City Campus
• Newcastle University Doctoral Training Suite in Newcastle
• partner Universities in London

Our purpose built doctoral Training Suite in Newcastle has excellent facilities, including computer access to specialist software required for doctoral research in the social sciences and humanities.

The programme provides a community made up of postgraduate social sciences and humanities students and staff. It is a unique blend of cross-disciplinary and generic researcher development training. It is recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as providing a solid basis for doctoral study.

Although your focus will be on your specialist study, our aim is for you to develop a broad range of research and project management skills that will support you in your career ahead. We have nurtured a multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary and supportive environment where staff and students from across the world can come together and share their research experiences.

You can also choose to register for a Postgraduate Certificate in Research Training, which accredits the core foundation modules on the training programme.

Our award winning Research Student Support Team is dedicated to providing you with information, support and advice throughout your research degree studies. The team can help and advise you on a variety of issues from registration to producing your transcripts.

A 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in a relevant subject. We also usually expect a master’s degree, or international equivalent, at merit or above. In addition to academic qualifications, we also value relevant work experience.

If you do not have a master’s degree, you should complete the MA in Management and Business Studies (Research) before continuing onto the PhD track. If you have a master’s degree that is not recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as Research Master, you will be expected to complete a Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Research Training in your first year of the programme.
