Why study for an MRes in Accounting & Financial Management?
The MRes is a one-year full-time Masters degree intended for students who are planning to become academic researchers or consultants, and who would benefit from structured preparation for their PhD studies, or who are required to complete a research training programme as part of their doctoral studies. The programme is suitable both for students who are hoping to continue their doctoral study at Lancaster and those who decide to complete their PhD at another university.
The MRes has two purposes:-
1. to provide intending PhD students with a better grounding in a specialist subject area.
2. to provide intending PhD students with the qualitative and quantitative research skills they will need in order to undertake their research.
