Management MRes

Our Management MRes is an Economic and Social Research Council recognised degree, which will introduce you to a broad range of traditional research methodologies and emerging techniques. This course is an excellent ‘springboard’ for a PhD in business and management but you can also study it as a stand-alone master’s degree to get ready for research-focused roles in commercial, policy and professional organisations. This is an interdisciplinary programme that allows you to specialise in key business areas, including supply chain, international business, entrepreneurship, marketing and the world of organisations. You’ll gain a deep understanding of key theories in your area of specialisation, and essential skills to design and undertake empirical quantitative or qualitative research. You’ll be taught by leading academics who regularly publish in top-tier international journals and have substantial experience in writing and undertaking research grants. MRes courses place more emphasis on research skills, so if your goal is not to move on to a PhD or research-focused roles, we recommend you consider a specialist master’s degree instead. This programme is delivered in-person at our emblematic Liverpool campus. UK, Republic of Ireland and international students can study this MRes on a full-time basis, while UK and Republic of Ireland students also have the option to study part-time.
