MRes International Business and Politics

The School of Business and Management is a member of the King's College London/Imperial College London/Queen Mary ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership, which offers high quality training to doctoral students as well as +3 and 1+3 studentships.

This 12-month MRes combines core taught research methods modules with optional subject-based modules, and submission of a thesis.

The programme aims to help students to develop advanced understandings of the politics of international business, from neoliberal and mainstream business studies approaches, through to more critical approaches which engage with questions of power and resistance. You will choose optional modules from the School of Business and Management and School of Politics and International Relations, to supplement your own research.

You'll have the opportunity to acquire methodologies and techniques for undertaking, analysing and writing up academic research, and carrying out applied or practitioner research in the areas of business and politics.

You will expand your professional network by interacting with students from King’s College London and Imperial College, as part of the training offered by the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP).
