- The Graduate Research Centre of the Kemmy Business School (KBS), which is home to our full-time PhD and Masters degree students, is situated in the Foundation Building at the University of Limerick (which also houses a large part of the University’s research activity across all faculties). The Centre was established in 1993 with the purpose of ensuring that students engaged in postgraduate research have a “home” and an identity, and to provide the services and infrastructure necessary for their studies. The Centre hosts more than 100 postgraduate students pursuing Masters and PhD degrees across a range of business disciplines. It also embraces a number of research centres which facilitate the grouping of faculty, research fellows, postgraduate students and post-doctorate students who share common research interests.
- All research students are key members of our four cutting-edge research themes under the umbrella theme of “Organisation Science & Public Policy”. Additional information on our thematic approach to research is available at http://www.ul.ie/business/research/research-themes
- KBS offers research degrees at both Masters and PhD levels: students can apply and register at any stage of the academic year for a research degree, both part-time and full-time, as applications are considered monthly during the academic year.
- Upon graduation many KBS graduates take up senior academic posts, or secure positions with government or private sector organisations.
- Whatever your future plans, a research degree from the KBS will give you an opportunity to make an impact.
