The Seminar runs across all Management PhD Programmes and is a compulsory course for all students in the first year of their MRes/PhD or MPhil/PhD programme.  

The Seminar provides the opportunity to engage with the Doctoral Programme leads and academics from across the Department of Management as an introduction to the different approaches to research and the style of academic debate within the faculty groups. Each seminar is led by a different member of Faculty. Students will read a variety of important and accessible papers from across the management field for discussion in the seminar. Through this broad introduction to the management research, students will broaden their perspective of the management field, and develop skills to evaluate underlying the research philosophy and research design in academic research.
