Overview

The doctoral researchers study towards a PhD or MPhil in Business and Management, Economics, or Information Science. As a doctoral researcher working under the supervision of two or more supervisors, you will join whichever of the School’s Discipline Groups suits your research interests best. You will also be actively involved in our Research Centres and Research Interest Groups.

Beginning a research degree is perhaps the most exciting and demanding phase in any academic career. As the pinnacle of academic qualifications it marks the transition from being largely taught by others to becoming an independent academic, conducting your own research and developing your own ideas. Our goal is to guide you through that process of becoming a fully-fledged PhD graduate equipped for a wide range of rewarding professional careers.

As a  Business and Economics doctoral student at the Loughborough University you will join whichever discipline group best suits your research interests. Whether you are interested in microeconomics or consumer behaviour, or want to research international marketing strategies, the School of Business and Economics is well-placed to provide the right opportunities for you, in order to realise your ambitions.
