    About Management PhD

    We undertake research at the cutting edge of management thinking through our own specialist themes and subject groups. We frequently collaborate with industrial and commercial research partners, as well as academic colleagues at other institutions (both in the UK and further afield) and in other departments within Royal Holloway.

    Group members are also active within the academic research community, making regular contributions at conferences and in the pages of the leading academic journals in their fields.

    The School of Business and Management is associated with the pursuit of research excellence across three research centres and three research themes. Whilst the majority of students pursue qualitative methods some students pursue mixed methods or quantitative methods.

    Information on how to apply for a PhD at the School of Business and Management can be found on this Postgraduate Research page.

    From time to time, we make changes to our courses to improve the student and learning experience. If we make a significant change to your chosen course, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
