Overview
The International Business and Politics MRes is a pre-doctoral training programme designed to provide a critical, research led approach to the study of the politics of international business from various intellectual perspectives, from neo-liberal and mainstream business studies approaches, through to more critical approaches which engage with questions of power and resistance. In addition, it aims to provide an advanced theoretical grounding in the core aspects, and history and politics of, business and its growing internationalisation, together with training in the key research skills appropriate for Doctoral level study. Alongside a suite of substantive modules offered in conjunction with the School's International Business and Politics MSc, the programme includes core modules in research design, qualitative and quantitative methods taken jointly with social science students from a range of disciplines across QMUL, Kings College London and Imperial College as part of the training offered by the ESRC funded London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP).
The International Business and Politics MRes is in an approved pathway for ESRC funding, enabling students to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both the MRes and a PhD, and successful MRes graduates to apply subsequently for ESRC +3 PhD funding. The MRes also caters more generally for those seeking to develop their ability to apply knowledge and understanding of financial management in a complex global environment –and is an ideal preparation for a career in multi-national business or the financial sector, as well as for those pursuing advanced studies.
