PhD Programme at the School of Management

About the Doctor of Philosophy Programme
The PhD is the highest degree offered by the Victoria Business School. It is completed by thesis only and is restricted to areas where appropriate supervision is available.
Many of the rewards of a PhD are intrinsic; they are a consequence of your commitment to undertake original and challenging research in your chosen field of study. During the course of your research you have the opportunity to build upon your previous education, experience and training to produce a thesis that will make a significant contribution to your discipline. PhD theses are evaluated by international standards and the award of the degree is a mark of academic distinction.
The PhD consists of an individual course of supervised research that involves a substantial commitment from the candidate, supervisor(s), and the University which extends over some years. At a minimum, it requires two years of full-time registration.
School of Management (SoM) has an active PhD programme, with students currently completing doctoral theses. Areas of research excellence in SoM include:
- Critical perspectives on management and leadership
- Employment relations
- Maori business
- Strategy and innovation
- Systems
- Tourism management
The specific research interests of School of Management staff can be found on individual webpages. See SoM Academic Staff.
