In your first year, you'll need to take a number of classes offered through our Business & Management (MBM) course. If you already have postgraduate training in business or social science research methods, you'll be expected to earn a Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) in Business & Management before you can progress to the PhD. If you don't have any postgraduate training in business or social science research methods, you'll need to gain a Masters of Research (MRes) in Business & Management before you can progress to the PhD. These classes provide research training in accordance with the Economic & Social Research Council's (ESRC) guidelines. You'll also participate in an Entrepreneurship Research class as part of your research methods training. This class introduces you to the breadth of entrepreneurship research.
You can study a PhD over three years, in any of our current research areas:
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurial ecosystems
Entrepreneurship & enterprise policy
Enterprise finance
Social & environmental entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship in developing countries
Inclusive entrepreneurship
High growth entrepreneurship
Innovation
Innovation systems & socio-technical transitions
Innovation policy evaluation & design
Technology hype & legitimacy
Strategy

Organisational performance, resilience & capabilities
Open & collaborative strategy
We normally require a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in a relevant business or social science related subject. For PhD applications, we also normally expect a Masters degree, or overseas equivalent, although there are often exceptions.
