-
You will meet regularly with your supervisor, and develop a structured approach to designing, executing, analysing and writing up your research.

You will have access to the IMS staff who have expertise in a wide range of areas at the interface with economics (management, innovation, entrepreneurship, marketing, occupational psychology).
-
You will also have an annual allowance to contribute towards your research expenses and/or conference attendance.
Types of research you could do Supervision can be offered in any of the areas of research actively pursued in the department. The Institute of Management Studies department has a particular concentration of economics expertise in four areas:

Sustainable futures
Students are often attracted by the research interests of our staff and may decide to undertake a project that relates to their ongoing research. To explore these or other research ideas, you can start by emailing the member of staff whose research interests you and arrange to discuss research ideas.
We are also open to students who have already formulated specific research ideas before they apply and we can support them in finding a supervisor in the department who is able to help them develop these into a doctoral research programme if suitable.
