Theory and Practice of Management Lancaster University

Overview

This Theory and Practice of Management course from Lancaster University is a response to that need, with its increased focus on research impact and business engagement. It also recognises that doctoral researchers form an integral part of our research community and add value to the research conducted here at Lancaster.

The programme will be accessible to part-time researchers from the public, private, and third sectors through a combination of online resources and facilitated activities, face-to-face workshops, and collaborative supervision. Working closely with academic faculty, they will be supported in developing their research skills while generating a valuable contribution to knowledge.

TPM route:

This main route (PhD in Theory and Practice of Management (TPM)) is open access and designed to offer a strong methodological understanding/skillset, a ‘light touch’ grounding in the management discipline, and to support participants in producing a quality piece of independent research.

This TPM route consists of the modules shown in the course structure, all of which are compulsory.

Participants will also need to undertake 15-30 hours of tailored research training on data collection and analysis in alignment with their research.

Participants will be awarded a PhD on successful completion of the listed modules, plus a 45,000-word thesis and an academic paper of publishable quality.
