The student, on registration, holds an introductory meeting with the primary supervisor and / or a research committee, where a customized and individualized programme of research investigation is balanced with supporting taught modules. These supported modules are identified from a suite of modules that make up the structured PhD programme in business, design or mediation. Annual progress reviews are part of the research masters programme in business, design or mediation and completion of requisite generic/transferable skills modules will be taken into account when assessing student progress. Students will not be permitted to submit their thesis (or equivalent) for examination without having accumulated the required amount of credits.
In addition to developing their own research topic with their supervisor(s), students’ will be required to take 10 credits worth of modules over the duration of their programme of doctoral research. 5 of these will be generic/transferable modules, and 5 in subject/specialist modules.

The M.Litt. programme in Business & Management creates a framework that complements and supports independent research in the field of business, whilst providing milestones through which the graduate student will advance, and structured educational inputs to support and develop the student. Students will be introduced to the components of advanced research and will be encouraged to actively participate in academic communication and publishing where applicable. The rigorous nature of the structure aims to ultimately extend the students capability to contribute to theory and develop new knowledge as they proceed through their research project. Alongside exceptional research training and support, the structured M.Litt. in business also aims to provide research graduates with the requisite skills to engage with broader business and civil communities outside academic contexts.
Closing date Research applications are generally accepted at any time
