The Cranfield PhD has an international reputation for quality and academic excellence.
Distinguished by a well-structured and rigorous research training programme that ensures students make rapid progress, our programmes perform consistently highly in the rankings - 6th in the UK, 8th in Europe and 24th in the world (2009 Financial Times MBA survey)
The foundation of the PhD programme is our renowned research methodology course. Undertaken by all full-time and part-time research students in their first year of study, the course provides a thorough grounding in qualitative and quantitative approaches to researching management and organisational topics.
The research is assessed by written thesis and oral defence at a viva voce.
Modules: In their first year, full-time students complete an MRes degree course, comprising the research methodology course and four further, assessed, modules:
* Essential Organisational Theory
* Quantitative Methods
* Learning and Teaching
* A thesis based on Systematic Review
A key tool for management researchers in producing a comprehensive and scholarly literature review, Systematic Review has been successfully transferred to the management field through the pioneering work of faculty within the School.
Part-time students complete one module of the MRes – the Research Methodology Course – and are required to attend on Mondays during the first year of study.
After the first year, students continue to work closely with their supervisor in developing their research topic through a structured programme of panel reviews.
All PhD students must complete a thesis that demonstrates an original contribution to knowledge. Examination is based on the submitted thesis and its defence at a viva voce.
