Management – (Ph.D.)

The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Our PhD Management draws on our rich expertise in critical approaches to understanding the contemporary workplace and connecting global concerns with local practices, with current students ranging from recent graduates to experienced practitioners to artists.

Recent events in the global economy have meant that organizational and political stakeholders across the world have begun to pay attention to the consequences of power relations, informal collusion and the impact of organizational narratives and rhetoric on organizational practices. In providing expertise across a range of business disciplines, including sustainability, leadership, identity and brand management, our programme allows you to cater your studies to a profession or sector of your own choice, whilst developing a high-quality research agenda.

With the ability to provide a highly individualised and original research project developing the skills and expertise desired by each doctoral candidate, our PhD Management has a proven track record of training the next generation of social scientists who inform future theory, policy and practice in relation to work, organizations and the new economy.

We also offer an MPhil and a Masters by dissertation in this subject.
