Course Overview

We have an exciting and vibrant research environment at Aston Business School that enables our Ph.D. students to be engaged in various research events and seminars (Aston Business School-wide and PhD-specific). Our PhDs have a dedicated research society that organizes various social and academic-related events throughout the year, including the ABS Annual Doctoral Conference. We strongly believe that these activities are an essential part of ensuring our Ph.D. students are engaged and motivated throughout the duration of their Ph.D. journey. Our academic departments also run research seminar series (and other activities) where Ph.D. students are encouraged to present their research and get feedback from colleagues. In addition, our Summer School in Advanced Research Methods offers additional training opportunities necessary for a successful academic career. All students can access up to £1500 for presenting at academic conferences and an additional £1200 Research Support Training Grant is also provided to help further develop their research knowledge, skills, abilities, and professional development.
