The part-time PhD in the Theory and Practice of Management (TPM) combines the academic rigour of a traditional PhD with the accessibility of a structured, part-time research programme. An EFMD doctoral conference hosted at Lancaster placed significant emphasis on the changing forms of knowledge production within academia and in society more broadly, as well as the need for universities to update their provision to reflect the societies they serve. This programme is a response to that need, with its increased focus on research impact and business engagement. It also recognises that doctoral researchers form an integral part of our research community and add value to the research conducted here at Lancaster.
The programme will be accessible to part-time researchers from the public, private, and third sectors through a combination of online resources and facilitated activities, face-to-face workshops, and collaborative supervision. Working closely with academic faculty, they will be supported in developing their research skills while generating a valuable contribution to knowledge.
There are two routes within the programme, designed to meet the needs of a range of applicants.
