An exciting research community
Join one of our doctoral programmes and you will become part of an exciting and vibrant research community of leading-edge faculty and some 120 international students.
An exclusively postgraduate School, we enjoy exceptional links with business and commerce through sponsored research, consultancy and executive education.
We offer you the chance to shape the theory and practice of management by developing and disseminating enduring knowledge. Join us in creating new agendas, new insights, practical tools and methodologies that have a genuine impact.
At Cranfield, we foster a real partnership approach within our community. Our doctoral students – typically with significant management experience to their name – work closely with supervisors, faculty and fellow researchers, sharing their knowledge and learning experience with like-minded colleagues from around the world. Outstanding facilities are provided by our Cranfield Management Research Institute, a £4.5 million state-of-the-art centre for our research activities.
Undoubtedly, undertaking a doctorate is hard work, but it is also stimulating, challenging and rewarding. Once you have committed to joining us we promise you excellent research training, opportunities for personal development and a quality learning experience through which you will become an expert in your field.
