MRes Research Methodology in Business & Management

For entry onto our postgraduate research programmes, we normally look for a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in a relevant business or social science related subject.

For PhD applications, we also normally expect a Masters degree, or overseas equivalent, although there are often exceptions. For technical social subjects, such as Accounting and Finance, in addition to Accounting, Finance and Economics subjects, we also expect decent coverage of quantitative or econometrics subjects in the undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

When reviewing your academic achievements, we're particularly interested in grades which relate to independent research (for example, a research project or dissertation). A strong score in these elements may allow us to consider entry with a lower degree classification.
