About

Finance for Executives at University of Gloucestershire is tailored for seasoned finance, insurance, accounting, and tax professionals. It aims to cultivate innovative insights and practical solutions to complex challenges within the financial sector.

Overview

Given the rapid evolution of societal and financial services, this programme in Finance for Executives at University of Gloucestershire addresses the resultant opportunities and critical issues faced by practitioners, institutions, regulators, and society.

While traditional knowledge-creation methods have long supported these professions, emerging methodologies offer enhanced capabilities for validating existing expertise and expediting the development and deployment of solutions within our interconnected financial ecosystem.

This programme, therefore, equips participants with the advanced competencies necessary for thought leadership and expanded influence in the industry.

And, as part of a European Doctoral Association in Management and Business Administration (EDAMBA)-member doctoral programme, you will become part of a vibrant and diverse research community.

Careers

You will become a thought leader, transforming knowledge, understanding, practices, and relevant regulations in your area of inquiry.

This isn’t just about earning a qualification – it’s a transformative journey that will shape you as an innovative, strategic, and ethical thinker.

As a doctoral researcher, you’ll deepen your expertise while mastering key capabilities in research design, critical thinking, academic writing, and professional engagement. You will have a foothold in both academia and professional practice.

Programme Structure

Curriculum includes:

  • This programme is thoughtfully structured to accommodate the demanding schedules of finance professionals.
  • It unfolds across three distinct stages: Discovery, Design, and Delivery. Each stage involves intensive, in-person engagement with dedicated supervisors, which occurs annually for three days each in October and February.
  • These practical, interactive sessions are crafted to reinforce the technical skills and academic proficiencies essential for generating original contributions to knowledge within your chosen area of inquiry.
  • As your research progresses, you’ll be encouraged to present at national and international conferences and will be supported in publishing your work for both academic and practitioner audiences.
  • Whether your thesis follows a traditional, practice-led, or publication-based format, our commitment to research innovation ensures that your contribution has a meaningful impact.
