Description
The PhD Programme is London Business School's investment in the future of management teaching and research. Expert faculty, partnership opportunities, leading-edge research methods and close supervision contribute to an outstanding study environment.
The PhD at London Business School is a five year programme. In the first two years, students complete core and elective courses in their chosen subject and related areas. They then go on to present a thesis proposal in order to transfer from MPhil to PhD status. After a successful transfer, students have 18 months to complete a thesis – an original contribution to their chosen specialisation. Having successfully defended their thesis, and following the completion of any required amendments, they are awarded a London Business School PhD degree.
Students work within the following seven subject areas:
• Accounting
• Economics
• Finance
• Management Science and Operations
• Marketing
• Organisational Behaviour
• Strategy and Entrepreneurship
All students offered a place on the Programme receive full funding, which includes a tuition fee waiver and a stipend guaranteed for five years, subject to satisfactory academic performance.
