Full-time Postgraduate Research Degree Opportunities

The Open University Business School is offering a number of research studentships (currently circa £15,000 per annum) from 1 October 2011. Funding is available for a range of research projects which are described here www.open.ac.uk/business-school-phd

Applications are invited from candidates wishing to study for a full-time MRes in Management and Business Research or a PhD in Management. The MRes provides advanced level research methods training and is relevant to those wishing to go on to study for a PhD. You will only be considered for direct entry onto the PhD programme if you have had demonstrable training (equivalent to an MRes) in research methods. In both cases you should have, or expect, a good honours degree or equivalent in a relevant subject.

Your application should comprise a 1000-word research proposal and a statement of your suitability for the project. We must also receive a completed application form, previous degree certificates and transcripts, TOEFL/IELTS test result (if applicable), before we can consider your application.
