OVERVIEW

If you have a degree in Accounting & Finance or a related field, our Accounting & Finance PhD / PhD by Published Works programme is an ideal way to broaden your knowledge and research abilities. The University of Northampton offers a fascinating student experience paired with thought-provoking advice from our academic staff, and our postgraduate students are an essential element of the Business and Law Faculty’s research environment. Our Accounting and Finance PhD course aims to develop world-class financial and accounting researchers. Whilst completing a PhD in Accounting and Finance, students collaborate with academic staff and their supervisory team to establish and complete projects which influence theory, policy, and practice in accounting and finance studies. Students will perform empirical or theoretical research leading to new knowledge in a selected field under the supervision of research supervisors and are obliged to produce a thesis. The researcher will receive the highest qualification that any UK institution can grant, if the final thesis is successfully defended orally (viva voce). It will also provide researchers with a fantastic opportunity to further their academic careers or advance into higher executive roles in the sector. Our PhD in Accounting and Finance programme is intended to provide you with research expertise in the field.
