Masters by Research in Business and Management - Mres

Birmingham City University

Overview The Master’s by Research (MRes) is a flexible research training course designed to provide graduates with a foundation for a career in research, business, third-sector, government or academia. It is designed as a research-led programme that uniquely bridges the gap between taught Master’s qualifications and doctoral study (such as PhD or DBA). You will benefit from high quality training in the methods and practice of research, focusing on methodological rigour, the development of independent research capabilities, and applied research experience, as well as gaining relevant transferable skills to take into your career in business and management. The course offers plenty of opportunities to craft your learning to your needs, along with the chance to specialise in a particular business sub-discipline, with a broad interpretation of Business and Management research (based on the guidance of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework). Fields of research include, but are not limited to: accounting banking business analytics business and industrial economics business ethics business history consumer behaviour corporate governance corporate social responsibility critical management studies employment relations entrepreneurship finance human resource management information systems management innovation management international business leadership management education management science marketing operations management organisational psychology organisational studies project management public policy public sector management risk management service management small firms strategic management supply chain management sustainability technology management third sector management and any other field or sub-field aligned to business and management.
