• The PhD Programme is London Business School's investment in the future of management teaching and research.
  • Expert faculty, partnership opportunities, leading-edge research methods and close supervision contribute to an outstanding study environment.
  • The PhD at London Business School is a five-year program.
  • In the first two years, students complete core and elective courses in their chosen subject and related areas.

  • After a successful transfer, students have 18 months to complete a thesis – an original contribution to their chosen specialization.
  • Having successfully defended their thesis, and following the completion of any required amendments, they are awarded a London Business School PhD degree.
  • Students work within the following seven subject areas:
    • Accounting
    • Economics
    • Finance
    • Management Science and Operations
    • Marketing
    • Organisational Behaviour
