The Adam Smith Business School places a strong emphasis on the development of valuable transferable and personal development skills, such as finance-oriented computer programming, presentation and professional writing skills.
As a PhD student in Accounting and Finance at the University of Glasgow, you will have opportunities to:
- present and discuss your work in progress with colleagues and staff members
- present and discuss your work in progress with staff members in other Scottish Universities through the Scottish Doctoral Colloquium
- present your work in national or international conferences (usually at later stages of the PhD process)

- attend research training on necessary software programmes assisting you in your research (e.g., Nvivo, Stata)

Programme Structure
- In the first year, students will normally study a number of chosen courses in Accounting and Finance, which will develop their quantitative and qualitative research skills as well as their knowledge of accounting and finance research literature and methodologies.
- An appropriate programme of study is devised for each student in consultation with the director of the programme and the candidate’s supervisor. Students will also work with their supervisors to develop their PhD research proposal into a fully operational research plan.
- At the end of this period, the candidate presents a fully developed thesis proposal to the Thesis Committee. This committee is responsible for approving the student’s research proposal, over-seeing and guiding the student’s research progress.
