Research degrees
Entrepreneurship, innovation and international management fuel the growth of regions. Our thought leaders are proud to be leading research that has an impact on people's everyday lives, influencing policy and practice and shaping the next generation of businesses.
Our international researchers work alongside our PhD students to study topics including supply chain and operations, strategy, the challenges faced by specific entrepreneurial groups, the development of the intrapreneur and how entrepreneurship is delivered in the national curriculum.
We aim to champion innovative interdisciplinary projects and support our PhD students to design and conduct the research project you choose, rather than telling you to complete it in a particular way.
We are very proud that 100% of our business and management research environment is world-leading or internationally excellent and that we are 20th in UK for research power in business and management (Times Higher Education research power measure) in the Research Excellence Framework 2021.
We’re pleased to be able to offer an integrated PhD, for students who have a strong research proposal but who do not have previous research or Masters-level study experience.
