Full-time Postgraduate Research Degree Opportunities

The Open University

The Open University Business School is offering a number of research studentships (currently circa £14,000 per annum) from 1 October 2012. Funding is available for a range of research projects which are described at www.open.ac.uk/business-school-phd

Applications are invited from candidates wishing to study for a full-time MRes in Management and Business Research or a PhD in Business & Management. The MRes provides advanced level research methods training and is relevant to those wishing to go on to study for a PhD. You will only be considered for direct entry onto the PhD programme if you can demonstrate evidence of training in research methods equivalent to an MRes. In both cases you should have, or expect, a good honours degree or equivalent in a relevant subject.

Your application should comprise a 1,000-word research proposal and a statement of your suitability for the project. We must also receive a completed application form, previous degree certificates and transcripts, TOEFL/IELTS test result (if applicable), before we can consider your application.

For detailed information and how to apply, go to www.open.ac.uk/research-prospectus or email oubs-research@open.ac.uk

Closing date: midday on Wednesday 28 March 2012.
