Our DProf is designed for high-performing professionals to stimulate organisational, national or international development and contribute to wider debates in their field.

Innovative research solutions are now required to tackle the challenging circumstances facing contemporary organisations. Our DProf participants positively engage with these challenges as active members of our research community. Our aim is to develop leading practitioner-researchers who inspire strategic change and contribute to wider debates in our areas of expertise.

You can also fast track your doctoral journey by getting recognition for your previous Master’s-level achievements*.

*It is expected that participants will apply for the Accreditation of Prior Certificated Learning for the first stage of the doctoral course: an MBA or equivalent Master’s award in the area of business, leadership or management.

We are now seeking strong applicants who can develop and contribute high-impact research to our areas of expertise.
