Programme Description
As a research student at Nottingham University Business School, you will have access to our specialist in-house Postgraduate Careers Service to help you develop your career management skills and explore your career options.
Offering access to individual careers consultations, skill development events, guest lectures, and an online careers resource area, the Postgraduate Careers Service can support you in planning a career within academia or industry. The University's Graduate School also offers career management sessions for research students.
Many of our research degree graduates have pursued academic careers (approximately 80%), nationally and internationally. However, others have moved into a variety of sectors including consultancy, risk management, the public sector, and self employment.

YEAR 1
* Semesters 1 & 2: Attend appropriate taught modules both within the Business School and the Graduate School
* Define the nature of the research problem, identify appropriate analytic frameworks, and expect to have completed a first draft of literature review chapters
* June: 1st year Annual review
YEAR 2 * Expect to complete empirical work. If data collection is likely to be a lengthy process, perhaps because of gaining access to companies or because the study is longitudinal in nature, then the empirical work may start quite early in the student's second year, or even at the end of the first year
* June : 2nd year Annual Review
YEAR 3 * Commence formal writing-up
* Expect to complete empirical work and produce draft write-up of results
* Submit completed thesis
* June: 3rd year Annual review (if required)
Students should note that although a 4th year writing up period is available, the expectation is that they will submit their thesis within 3 years. It is most important that students research is written up on a continual basis during the three years of registration. Continual writing-up means that the students should expect to regularly prepare chapters to be read and commented on by their supervisors on a regular basis. This should help to ensure that when the formal writing-up period begins, they have a first draft of a thesis ready for modification.

More informationRequirements
The School welcomes applications from suitably qualified students to undertake research leading to an MRes, available on a full-time basis only, or Doctoral degree, available on either a full-time or part-time basis.
Applicants will normally be graduates of an approved university holding a Masters degree in a relevant subject (normally with an average over 65% in the taught modules and normally 65% in the dissertation, or its equivalent). Applicants may also be considered for admission if they have an honours degree in a relevant subject (with at least an upper second or its equivalent). Professional, business or industrial qualifications are also valued for some research areas.
Please enclose transcripts of all your academic qualifications with your application form. Interested applicants who have not yet fully completed their Masters or undergraduate degree should include a transcript of the marks received to date. Any offer made would be conditional upon achieving the required standard.
If English is not your first language
If your first language is not English and you do not have a degree from one of the countries listed, we normally require you to achieve one of the following combination of test results taken no earlier than September 2008 for an immediate entry to either the MRes Business and Management Programme and the Doctoral Programme (IELTS preferred).
* An International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of at least 7.0 with a minimum score of at least 6.0 in each of the four individual elements of the test.
* A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of at least 600 with a Test of Written English (TWE) score of at least 4.5. or computerised test equivalent of 250 with a TWE of 4.5 or an internet TOEFL score of 100 with no less than 19 in each of the four elements.
Applicants who have obtained an overall IELTS score of 6.5 will still be considered for a place on the programme, however any offer made would be conditional upon achieving an overall score of 7.0 with a minimum of 6.0 in each element or successfully completing an appropriate Business Management course at the University's Centre for English Language Education before commencing the programme.
