The Brighton Business School offers PhD students a research environment focused on the full range of disciplines associated with contemporary business structures and practices. Our research Centre, the Centre for Change, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (CENTRIM) brings together academic expertise with a long, successful history in business development through international partnerships and consultancies. Working with partners in industry, academia and government, we strive to produce groundbreaking concepts to explain, harness and improve innovation, entrepreneurship and change management. As a PhD student you will join a department whose work tackles the complex problems facing economies, businesses, and wider society. We are committed to academic research of international excellence, providing scientific evidence and generating new insights into the processes of enterprising and managing innovation and change. We generate data to test new theories and transfer our findings into boardrooms and beyond. Our research follows high academic standards and is published in international peer-reviewed academic conferences and journals. We welcome students with business experience that can further enhance our contact with and direct relevance to industry and enterprise. It is also possible to take the PhD directly after undergraduate study and capitalise on academic momentum. Our doctoral graduates work in academia, consultancy and in the business world internationally.

For international students

The entry requirements for the PhD are: a recognised Master’s degree with a significant research component, for example MPhil from another university, or similar qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant or substantial appropriate research or professional experience at postgraduate level which resulted in published work, written reports or other appropriate evidence of accomplishment. An application made by someone with this experience will be considered on its merits and will normally require independent academic references or, unless a School exercises their right to specify more stringent entry requirements, we may consider a first or upper second honours degree or other qualification which is regarded by the University of Brighton as being equivalent and relevant.

About

The University of Brighton is a public university spread across four campuses in Brighton and Eastbourne in the UK, offering over 200 programmes in subjects ranging from illustration to engineering. The University holds many accolades, including the TEF Silver Award, which recognises its high-quality teaching.
Throughout their time at the institution, students have the chance to undertake work placements on their course to gain practical experience in the industry of their choice. This has resulted in 94.4% of graduates going on to find work within six months of graduating (DLHE). Students also benefit from a dedicated careers service, which offers everything from one-to-one guidance with an advisor, to help with writing a stand-out CV and cover letter.
There are over 60 sports clubs and more than 100 student societies on offer at the University, and students are encouraged to get involved in some to meet new friends, pursue their interests and gain a new skill for their CV. There is also the option of starting their own society.
It is important to the institution that all students feel happy and safe during their time learning, and are well looked after with a range of support services. These include a confidential counselling team, LGBTQ+ support, access to study tutors, information on health and wellbeing and a dedicated service for those with a disability or special need.
During their degree, students can apply to study abroad at an exchange university. This is an ideal way for them to learn about a new culture, experience life in another country and gain confidence while facing new challenges.
