Suggest the development of your research project

Structure
The PhD program aims to:
Provide a framework within which you can conduct original scholarly research on aspects of management or business
Facilitate your development as a fully trained and competent scholarly researcher, able to understand and use research techniques appropriate to your own and subject areas, and to be conversant with research methods used in other subject areas both within business, management, and cognate social science disciplines
Learning occurs in several ways:
Working with your supervisory team: through working with a minimum of two academic advisers you develop both your research skills and your research study
By undertaking taught research training courses provided through resources from our Doctoral College
