Overview
The Work and Organisation MRes is a pre-doctoral training programme designed to provide a critical, research led approach to the study of aspects of work and organisation, and the changing context in which firms operate, 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 Management 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 Work and Organisation 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 the area of study in a complex global environment –and is an ideal preparation for a career in management in national and international contexts, as well as for those pursuing advanced studies.
