Business (Research)

Overview

Research at Worcester has grown significantly in the last 10 years as the University itself has expanded. As a research student you will join a vibrant student community in our Research School and become part of our dynamic research environment.

The Business School hosts the Future Proofing Organisations Research group, and two themes within the Interpersonal Relationships and Wellbeing Research group: the People and Work Research Theme and the Customer Interactions Research Theme. We particularly welcome MPhil/PhD applications that align with these groups' interests.
