There are two PhD Programmes offered at Cardiff Business School, the PhD in Economics and the PhD in Business and Management. Applicants are advised and encouraged to look at our academic profiles to find a suitable research supervisor and discuss your research interests before applying to the Programme.

PhD in Business Studies: Within our 3-year full-time PhD in Business Studies, students can choose to develop their project in the following research areas: Accounting and Finance; Logistics and Operations Management; Management, Employment and Organisation; Marketing and Strategy. Training on research philosophy, design and methods will be provided during the PhD project.

Depending on entry-level qualifications and prior research training, admission to the programme may be subject to the successful completion of the Cardiff University’s MSc in Social Science Research Methods (SSRM). Successful Scholarship holders may also have full fees and stipend paid for the MSc year.

PhD in Economics: The PhD in Economics is a 4-year full-time research programme hosted by the Economics section, which involves two years of advanced course work, and two years of research. The first year consists of an MSc Economics covering core subjects. In the second year, students complete the MRes Advanced Economics, while beginning to design their PhD research project. Years three and four comprise the PhD phase. It is also possible for suitably qualified students to join the PhD in Economics programme at the MRes stage, though they will be required to follow a slightly different programme to those students progressing directly from the MSc Economics (PhD Route).
