Research is an important component of academic life. It plays a major role in supporting what we teach to our students, and directly helps organisations to solve real world issues. You can undertake a negotiated programme of research leading to the award of either a Master of Philosophy degree or a Doctor of Philosophy degree. These higher degrees are awarded in recognition of a successful period of research training normally culminating in the production of a thesis. This route is for recently qualified graduates with good honours degrees who are keen to progress immediately to a research experience in their preparations for a career in which the ability to undertake research will play a key role.

You'll develop in-depth expertise in your chosen area which can lead to a real career progression either in business or in academia.
